Fabulous Friday #17: Napkin Pillows

Hey guys! Its Fab Friday!

I know that I do not always share a project of my own for Fabulous Friday, but I had this super easy and super cute one that I really wanted to share!

As part of our living room makeover, I wanted to add some fun pillows to brighten the room a bit, but I did not want to spend a fortune. While returning a duplicate Christmas Gift at Belk, I came across these really cute double lined napkins for $4 each on sale. They were PERFECT For the room! And the cream added the brightness that I wanted while the brown matched the curtains perfectly.
Here is the back. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the pattern!
So what you do with these is take a seam ripper:
And you tear out the stitches for a section large enough to fit your hand into.
Then You simply fill it with fluff. I gutted an old pillow that someone gave me for crafting purposes (Ew to sleeping on an old pillow of someone else's)
Hand stitch that hole shut and you have a cute pillow! Easy Peasy!
Here is the back. I made two of them, one for each end of the couch.
Once I am ready, I will do a whole living room post and show you how cute they look in the room! For now, I would love to see what you have been up to!


Please don't forget the button!

  2. Great idea. I just bought some napkins and need to see if they could possibly be lined like this. I wonder if I could be so lucky????
