HOW TO MAKE A PILLOW OUT OF A PLACEMAT

4 Materials
$5
10 Minutes
Easy
View materials (4)

Did you know that you can turn some placemats into pillows?

All you need to look for is a placemat that has 2 layers of fabric and you can
create a fun and cheap pillow for your home.



Blue and teal placemat pillows

Here's what you need:








 * A 2-layered placemat
 * A seam ripper
 * Pins
 * Polyfil
 * Needle & Thread or Double sided fabric tape

Seam ripper ripping seams on placemat

Step 1: Rip open enough of the seam to allow for you to put stuffing inside.

Step 2: Stuff polyfil into the placemat until it is full enough to be a pillow.
Make sure to stuff the polyfil all of the way into each of the four corners.

Step 3: Pin the opening of the placemat together with pins and then sew it with
a needle and thread.

Or use double sided fabric tape to close up the seam for a no sew option.

And that is it.

It was such an easy project and yet it makes a beautiful statement.

I used these pillows in my remodeled Master bedroom.

They were so simple and super cheap.

   A few months ago I was looking for some patterned throw pillows for the new
   front patio bench. I could not believe how expensive they were and I mostly
   found just the covers and not a stuffed pillow. I wish I had seen this
   project earlier. You were very smart and creative and did a great job!
