DIY LIFE PRESERVER PILLOW {NAUTICAL BOYS’ BEDROOM}

Reading time: 1 Minute

What’s a crafty mom to do? Make her own of course.

Here’s how I did it:

  1. I cut two large circles (traced from the bottom of a trash can) out of scraps of red fabric I had around the house.
  2. I found the center of the circles and traced/cut out a smaller circle in the middle.
  3. Using my Silhouette Cameo, I cut a stencil from Con-Tact Paper with the name of my favorite place to relax and unwind, and the zip code for my personal paradise.  (I love my Silhouette – it makes my crafting life so easy).
  4. I mixed white acrylic paint with some fabric medium, peeled the back from the Con-Tact paper, adhered the Con-Tact paper to the fabric, and used the paint mixture to stencil the words on my fabric.
  5. After the paint dried, I flipped the fabric inside out and sewed with my sewing machine around the outside edge of the fabric.  I flipped the fabric back to right-side out after doing this.  I then used the sewing machine to sew 3/4 of the way around the donut hole in the middle of the fabric.  I left enough room to insert my hand between the layers and stuff the pillow with pillow fluff.  I then sewed the remaining gap by hand.
  6. Finally, I added some 1 1/2 inch strips of white canvas, handsewing them onto the finished pillow.
