Holiday Tree Pillow


This season I wanted to challenge myself to make most of my holiday decorations.  Although easier said than done, I have been able to complete a few projects. Tonight I wanted to share with you a pillow I made.

For my pillow form, I added pom-pom trim to leftover fabric.

To cut my felt shapes, I purchased a Sizzix Paddle Punch from Ebay.

Once the shapes were cut, I attached them to my pillow form with fabric glue.

Before stuffing my pillow I allowed the felt pieces to completely dry.

I love how it turned out.

I think I may have a hard time packing it away after the holidays!

  2. What do you have a wonderful instrument? It looks as if it were a bottle opener. I'm excited, what you can do with it. So many creative ideas are possible with this thing. It's only for fabrics or also for paper?
