Throw pillows.
The name says it all.
With all the different shapes, sizes, fabrics, and embellishments, the options are endless.
We are very excited to be a part of this months #12MonthsofDIY challenge.
Last month, we used spray paint as part of Junes challenge.
If youve been with us for a while, you already know how important sustainability is to us!
Its in our name, after all!
Yet one more reason to feel good about crafting!
How amazing is that?
Mark the placement onto the pillow case with removable chalk.
On the back side of the felt, use spray adhesive and lightly coat the surface.
Apply the glued side to the cushion and apply light pressure to help adhere to fabric.
Using a sewing machine, set your stitch throw in to zig zag.
Replace presser foot to zig zag foot.
Trim all loose threads.
And what nautical theme is complete without an adorable whale?
We also couldnt resist using the Fusion Mineral Paints Tones for Tots whale stencil for this project!
Cut out two whale pieces in the same colour.
see to it to leave an opening of 2 on both ends for stuffing.
Fill the opening with polyester stuffing until desired thickness is achieved.
terminate the openings by continuing with the zig zag stitching.
Finally, attach the driftwood button eyes and enjoy!
The kids couldnt get over the cuteness of the whale throw pillow as I was making it.
Each one was asking if they could keep it!
So it looks like Ill be adding 4 more whale pillows to my list of projects to make.
And happily, I gave my 9 year old niece her very first sewing lesson using this wonderful felt.
She made herself a squishie toy, which she has proudly been admiring ever since.
Lets all do our part and RECYCLE those plastic water bottles!
What would you make with your felt fabric?
