How to turn a kitchen place mat into a pillow.
Maddy a Diva Den (new bedroom).
She challenged me into making her a pillow out
of a place mat they found.
She just wanted me to add fabric to the back.
I could do that but why?
This place mat was double sided with a coordinating fabric.
Perfect!
So here you go... DIY
Find a place mat that has a backing.
Take a seam ripper and take it apart at one end.
(see below)
Stuff your pillow insert into place mat.
Close the end with small whip stitches.
And there you have a pillow out of a place mat.
It takes more time to pick a placemat that to do this DIY.
Next time you are on the hunt for a cool little pillow ... maybe a stroll down the kitchen aisle can be the answer.

ReplyDeleteHey Missy-
ReplyDeleteEasy as pie and so clever. I made a set in three patterns for my dining chairs. You can't beat the ease or the price!
