New year, full of new possibilities! I'm determined to make 2018 the year to decorate on a budget and today was a great start!
I LOVE these placemats by Hearth & Hand Magnolia at Target, they are only $3.99 so picked up a few and decided I'd try and make them into a pillow. I think it turned out SO perfect! Below you'll find out I did it and what I used.

Enjoy friends!

What you'll need:
-Hearth & Hand Placemat (any one will do!)
-Seam cutter or little pair of scissors
-Pillow Stuffing from your local craft store (mine was from Hobby Lobby and used a 40% off coupon)
-Needle and thread
How To:
First, I used a tiny pair of embroidery scissors to snip away the thread holding the two halves of the placemat together.
Once I'd opened the placemat enough to get my hand in I stopped, probably about 5 inches across.
Then I started stuffing the placemat with the pillow stuffing.
Once I got the placemat stuffed to my liking (I used about 3/4ths of a bag) I took my needle and black thread and just sewed back along where I had just taken out. I tried to follow where they had sewed but really you can't even tell, it does not have to be perfect!!
I fluffed the pillow out a bit once it was all sew up and it turned out perfectly! This entire project cost me about $6!! I'm so happy with how it turned out!
