I have no idea whatsoever or howsoever I came across the blog Cluck Cluck Sew that held this idea…but it was love at first felt! Seriously, it had me at “felt.” It sunk me at “flower”, and I was a goner by “pillow”!
I’ll post my photos first, and then I’ll include a link to Cluck.Cluck.Sew’s tutorial. She did a fabulous job with the tutorial, so there’s no sense reinventing the proverbial felt pillow!
I cut out 2 18" squares of Amy Butler fabric. Before creating the pillow, I added the half-circles of felt onto one of the sides.
You can see the pretty aquamarine blue on the fabric better in this photo...I have a really good camera. If I would figure out how to use it, maybe I could break away from my so 3G iphone!
A little glimpse into my world of rotating rows of felt half-circles...start with the outer row and work your way into the center!
I thought you'd like one more ridiculously low-tech photo.
You should know, this is how I spent my New Year’s Eve! I can’t tell if I’m depressed about that or elated about that. Now that January is well under way, I’m feeling more elated; however, NYE was pretty lame around here!
Anyway, I digress….
This was super fun AND super easy. What’s even better….it was relatively FAST and….even better than that…IT WAS FREE!
Felt – I have a ton on hand.
Fabric – you know me well enough to know that I have a ton of that on hand too!
To be fair, if you had to purchase these supplies from scratch, the cost would be approximately:
Felt: $1, Fabric: 1 yard, so about $5-10 depending upon whether you choose designer or not.
Okay, enough of me already….here’s the link to the tutorial…send me photos of YOUR pillow!
