Today I thought I would show you a quick and easy want to make your own DIY autumn pillow. I have an infatuation with the super easy placemat pillow. This time I am making a cute DIY fall pillow from a placemat. This is a super simple 5-minute craft that you will love. I love anything that is quick, easy, and gorgeous!
Supplies to make a DIY Autumn Pillow:
- placemat
- seam ripper
- poly-fil
- needle and thread (hot glue is also an option)
How to Make a DIY Fall Pillow
I got my placemat at Big Lots. It was on sale for $2.30. Now that is a budget-friendly pillow! You can pick up any placemat that you like and use this same technique to make a pillow. I loved this one for the appliques. Be sure to shop around and pick out the perfect placemat for your DIY pillow.
First, use your seam ripper to make a hole in one side. You want this to just be big enough to stuff your pillow through.
Then start stuffing with poly-fil until you like the way it looks.
Then just sew your opening closed with your sewing machine or by hand. You could even use some hot glue if the pillow is only for decorative purposes.
To make a pillow with this much detail from scratch would take hours. This DIY autumn pillow will take you 5 minutes but you can impress all your friends with your craftiness.
These are so cheap and easy that you can have one (or more) for every season! Get to the store and pick out your placemats today. There are so many pillows to make and so little time. Will you make a DIY fall pillow from a placemat? Or maybe a few for Christmas? Either way, this DIY pillow idea is sure to be one that you use over and over again.
