Felt Christmas Pillows with Tutorial

I needed some easy teacher’s gifts for the Holidays this year…and have kind of made it a tradition to do a handmade gift and then a gift card for school supplies.  So when the Jo-Ann’s #MakeItGiveIt campaign came along, I knew it would be the perfect match.  I wandered through the store and found some amazing cream premium wool felt and knew it would make the perfect pillows for my kids’ teachers.  And since pillows are easy….it was a perfect afternoon project!

Here is what you will need if you want to make some easy felt Christmas pillows too!

Materials:

1/2 yard of duck cloth, 1/2 yard of wool felt, white pom poms, 1 bag stuffing

Step 1:  Cut two pieces of canvas 12 inches by 24 inches.  Cut out your felt shapes and add to the pillow top.

Step 2: Stitch down felt and add your pom poms (optional)

Step 3: Add second pillow piece over the top of finished pillow cover and stitch around the perimeter, leaving a 2 inch opening to turn right sides out.

Step 4:  Turn pillow right sides out (remember to cut a triangle off the corners) and stuff.  Hand-stitch up opening and you are done!

I did a second one with holly leaves and pom pom holly berries and I love it too!  I am hoping the teachers will like them just as much 😉

Be sure to head over to Jo-Ann’s Share site and link up your own #MakeItGiveIt project and be entered to win a $100 gift card!  All the details can be found HERE….

A special thanks to Jo-Ann for the gift card to buy these supplies and have fun making some easy pillows!
