How to Make a Pillow Out of a Placemat
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.
Here's what you need:
- A 2-layered placemat
- A seam ripper
- Pins
- Polyfil
- Needle & Thread or Double sided fabric tape
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.
