Happy Middle of the Week,

My Everyday Friends!

It feels like Summer has officially arrived here

in Eastern NC – if the humidity levels are any

indication. I didn’t know I had as many sweat glands

as I do.  ðŸ˜€

So, it’s a good time for me to stay inside in the

cooler air and work on a few DIY projects.

For example, these

DIY Placemat Pillows.

this great tutorial for making some easy, yet

beautiful pillows.

Hi! It’s Lauren from Mom Home Guide, and I am

so happy to be sharing my incredibly simple

DIY Placemat Pillows here at The Everyday Home!

These pillows are so inexpensive to make and so easy,

that it’s almost wrong to call making these pillows a DIY

project! Little to no effort or sewing is required for

these pillows!

I made the pillows just before I got my new La-Z-Boy sofa

for my home’s living room last spring. Up until my family

got our new sofa, the living room was mostly undecorated

and only housed a piano, my kids’ toys and two toy boxes.

You can understand why I couldn’t wait to start decorating

the living room!

I literally made my sofa’s pretty yellow and green pillows

in about 20 minutes — just before the new sofa arrived

at my home! I made these pretty throw pillows by

stuffing two-sided cloth placemats (from Target) with

pillow stuffing! I actually finished hand-stitching them

as the delivery truck was pulling into my driveway.

Talk about last minute!

I got the idea for the pillows when I was shopping

at my local Target. I had seen tutorials on Pinterest

about how to make throw pillows by stuffing double-sided

cloth placemats, so when I saw colorful green and

yellow double-sided placemats at Target for less than

$4 each, I scooped them up! I really love the bright

and happy colors of the pillows and their modern

trellis pattern.

 

Easy DIY Pillows

To make the pillows, all I did was open up about

3 to 4 inches of the seam on one edge of each placemat.

(I used a seam ripper.) I stuffed each pillow with Polyester

Fiberfill and hand-stitched the opening on each pillow

closed with a needle and thread. Very few sewing skills

are required for this project!

Now that I have completed these pillows, I am always

checking out Target for new double-sided cloth placemat

designs. I love changing up my home’s decor by making

new throw pillows, and these throw pillows are just so

easy to make!
