“No Sew Moss Pillow”

Have you ever wondered why people do the things they do?

Especially crafters.

I look on Pinterest and see some of the projects and think…

I like her mind.  She thinks like I do.  Laughing

Take for example, this moss pillow.

Moss-Pillow-cropped

What would have made me look at a roll of moss and

instantly say “pillow!”  (?)

Well…I don’t know, but I do know that I TRULY

enjoyed making this project and can’t wait to add it to our

Spring Porch which I will be sharing for my

Spring Porch Linky Party on March 21st.

But today – I am joining up with five other fabulous friends

and Bloggers to present to you:

A Spring Showcase of No Sew Projects

1604489_603642336398734_2080968248_n

This may very well be our BEST No Sew Showcase yet!

I will be share all the participating blogs and their projects below.

TEDSpaceBar

So let’s get started…it’s so easy!

Before we jump in…I would like to give a big shout-out to

Crafty Cat (aka Baby Lily) who served as my handy assistant.

moss-pillow-craft-cat

Here are the supplies you will need…

Moss-Pillow-Supplies

I have really fallen in love (aka obsession) with this moss sheeting.  

It is so easy to use and cuts your glueing (and burned finger)

time in half.  It isn’t cheap at $14 a package, but that

is when your Michael’s iPhone app and 40% discount really

comes in handy.  I also grabbed a 99-cent “B” monogram

and two packages of discounted paper flowers and butterflies.

($1.99 a package – 40% off with your iPhone app)

Moss-Pillow-Moss-Sheet

I folded the moss sheeting into about a 12×12 size. 

Moss-Pillow-Cut-Moss

Then I folded a “flap” back over about halfway the length.

I wanted to create the look of an “envelope” pillow…so I trimmed the

flap into a triangle shape.

Moss-pillow-envelope

Now, it was only a matter of gluing the sides together with a

low-temp glue gun.

Moss-Pillow-Glue

Once the sides were glued, I needed to run upstairs to grab some

“pillow stuffing.”

I wanted to use packing paper (you can use newspaper, etc) so the

stiff paper would hold the shape of the pillow better.

Lucky for me, Crafty Cat served as a “paper weight” so my moss

pillow did not blow away while I was gone…

the whole 3 minutes.

moss-pillow-lily

Ha Ha

moss-pillow-stuffing

Once fully stuffed, I simply glued the flap down.

I wanted to emphasis the envelope part of the pillow,

so I added two rows of jute twine.

moss-pillow-jute

The one word which comes to mind for this process is “ouchie.”

(I have decided I would make a great bank robber because there is no way

I have any fingerprints remaining.)  Laughing

Now it was time for the fun…adding the flowers and

butterflies and decorations.

I gave the wood “B” monogram a coat of pink paint.

Moss-Pillow-monogram

...then placed the paper flowers and butterflies where I wanted

them before gluing them all down.

moss-pillow-flowers

I just love these flowers…

moss-pillows-flowers-2

The butterflies look like they are nestling in the moss.

Once I had glued down all the decorations, I added a jute hanger to the

painted “B” monogram…and embellished it with a cute little butterfly, too.

moss-pillow-monogram- letter

Crafty Cat and I agreed it would be beautiful on the chippy,

metal bench that is nestled in the ivy garden.

moss-pillow-chippy-bench

The pillow will be moved up onto the porch, because it is too

fragile to withstand any kind of weather.

moss-pillow-angle

But, this was the first sunny and warm day we have had in

months, so I could not help myself and had to enjoy the

Spring day while I could.

Just me, Crafty Cat, and a moss pillow…

(oh and three munchkins playing in the yard behind me) Laughing

moss-pillow-bench

Crafty Cat did not stay around long – she had a little “grooming”

to take care of.

moss-pillow-lily-moss

Thank you for letting me share my Mossy No Sew Pillow

with you.  This project took me less than an hour

and truly was such a fun and different craft.

I hope you like it.

    Your pillow is gorgeous and so creative. The flowers and the pink B are the perfect touches, as well as the jute trim. I think I may have to make one of these for my porch too. I have never worked with the rolls of moss. I wonder what else I would come up with.
    It’s great to see that you have a cat helper/supervisor with you too. LOL My cat Cupcake is always in the middle of my projects too. It makes it more fun. Kathy
