{ Oh, Deer! }

I've hopped on the bandwagon of the reindeer craze! If you're part of it too, you're going to LOVE this post! While shopping on one of my regular trips to Target, I spotted the cutest place mats for only $3.99! I snagged one really quick with every intention of turning it into a pillow!


Once I was home I had a good bit of canvas I had purchased for another projects from Lowe's. I grabbed my place mat and traced onto the canvas, and cut out. Before sewing, lay the place mat reindeer face down onto the canvas, and sew the the top and sides, then turn inside so that the reindeer is now on the front and you have three seamless edges. Stuff the pillow and sew along the bottom and voila! An absolutely adorable pillow for under $5!!

    Thank you so much for this post! The night before I saw it I had moved some placemats I bought at Target last year aside that I was thinking of making pillows with. I don't sew often {or that well, lol} but this post inspired me and I got it done last night! That was almost a little too easy and now I may be obsessed with placemats, haha. Happy Thanksgiving!
