Mini Santa Pillows From the Printer

by Homeroad

After choosing images I loved from the Graphics Fairy, I adhered cotton muslin to a full sheet of sticker paper and ran it through my printer. The image came out great then I sewed them into little pillows with a loop at the top for hanging. The loop is embellished with a little key or rusty bell. These pillows were sprayed with a waterproofing spray but they can not be washed. Hanging on the door or sitting in a basket they are adorable for Christmas!

Creating decorative pillows from images obtained from the Graphics Fairy is a fantastic DIY project! The process you've described—adhering cotton muslin to sticker paper and printing images onto it—sounds like an innovative way to transfer designs onto fabric. Sewing these printed images into small pillows with a loop for hanging adds a charming touch.

Your decision to use waterproofing spray ensures their durability, although it's important to note that these pillows are not washable due to the materials and waterproofing treatment. However, the versatility of these adorable Christmas-themed pillows is evident—they can be hung on doors or placed in baskets, instantly adding a festive vibe to any space.
This DIY project not only showcases creativity but also demonstrates how simple materials and techniques can transform images into delightful decorations. The attention to detail in both design and functionality makes these pillows a unique and attractive addition to holiday décor. It's a wonderful idea that combines crafting skills with artistic elements to bri
