Thinking outside the box....

Thanks to bloggers like Sarah at Thrifty Decor Chick, I now spend every single free moment working on cool projects and this one is no exception.

I wanted a couple new throw pillows to go along with my denim throw I finished up last week so last night while I was at Big Lots, I remembered this post. They had double sided cloth place mats for $1. I had picked up a bag of stuffing from a yard sale on Saturday for 50 cents. So this whole pillow cost me a whooping $1.50 and about 10 minutes of time. Seriously. It is super easy.


You just ripped out the seam just enough to stuff the pillow, make sure you get it nice and plump. Then you just hand sew it back together. Super simple!


Of course it would look awesome embellished in some kind of way, but for now I am pretty happy about how it looks, how little it cost and definately happy it only took a few minutes!

Great job! I sew, a little, the hardest jobs are the easiest jobs. Does that make sense? Anyway, great job!

What a great idea! I'll have to keep that in mind when I come across placemats that I love.
