So I found a bunch of unused placemats in my closet that I had originally saved for placemat purses, and I realized how out of style that was for me so I decided to do some Pinterest searching for things to do with placemats. I came across making pillows out of placemats. So I decided to try it and found out it was really easy, only takes 4 materials and took about 15 to 30 minutes max. Materials needed:
- Placemat
- Stuffing
- Sewing Machine
- Scissors
Steps:
- Open one end of your placemat. (You can use a seam ripper or scissors for this.)
- Put the stuffing inside the placemat. I actually tore apart an old pillow that was getting nasty and used the inside.
- Then you just sew back the open end.
- And then… voila! The finished product. I still haven’t figured out where I am going to put mine, so I do not have a picture of it on a bed or couch.
If you have any questions, just ask! Feel free to share, even on Pinterest!
