DIY CHRISTMAS PILLOW

Every year I try to make a cute Christmas pillow to use with my holiday decor.

This year, I was just going to buy one due to my crafting time being so limited, but browsing online I came across this pretty pillow and right away I knew I could recreate it very easily.

Don't laugh at my computer picture, LOL 

I just don't like to put online pictures on my blog.

This is the pillow I liked.

And here is my version.

Let me show you how I made it.

I already had everything I needed in my craft room.

This is what I used.

A leftover piece of Christmas burlap from previous holidays.

 Some holiday picks and red and white bakers twine.

And a cute little tag I made with the Silhouette.

I did start by making a 18 x 18 burlap envelope style pillow cover.

 I tripled the bakers twine and tied it around the pillow and gift tag securing it all with a bow.

And then I just tucked in the little picks.

They stayed in place so I didn't even had to glue them.

 

  

Then I worked on the small letters and designs.

I also made them using the Silhouette Cameo and heat transfer material.

I added a little snowflake.

And I was done!

It took me about an hour to make and I am glad I did, because it looks really cute with my holiday decor this year.

What do you think?

I hope your week is going well and that you are almost done getting ready for Christmas.

So much to do, so little time. :)

Take care everyone!
