Burlap Pillows

I'm sorry I'm going Burlap crazy here- but I just love how burlap makes everything look cooler :)


I had these Ikea pillows left over from decorating my apartment my senior year of college. Cheap pillows, yes, but perfect for crafting with!!

From ugly green- to fun burlap! I used the same extra fabric from the comforter I've been slowly disassembling. Its thick, and I wanted a side of fabric that would help the burlap not fray when I sewed it.


Juno- helping me craft!
I must say- I havent made a pillow since elementry school, when my Grandma and I made M&M pillows to match my tye-dyed bedroom. (Yes, my bedroom was cool) But I think I did a decent job!

I even made a mini one. This one didn't turn out quite as well. I just stuffed it with batting from the comforter. Very lumpy- but I'd say it was a good first try!

Cute cute cute! I really need to get a sewing machine...and then learn how to use it. Its a great idea to fix all the old ugly pillows that I have laying around!

I have a few old pillows that could use some fixing up! Namely a checkered one with a moose silhouette on it. I joined the cabin theme phase in high school. Thanks for linking up with DIY under $5!
