Easy No Sew Burlap Pillow "how to"......

Hi guys,  

I can't believe summer's almost over, school starts again next tuesday!!!

If any of you are looking for a quickie craft fix before school starts, here's a little something you might like.

Over the 4th of July I made a super easy pillow that required no sewing.  Since then, I've had several friends ask me how to make one.  

It's really as easy as 1, 2, 3...

1.  Go to your local feed store and fork up half a dollar for a "lumbar size" burlap feed sac.

2.  Stuff it with pillow stuffing.

3.  Cut 3 holes for ribbon to go through on the open side, push ribbon through the holes tying ends into a bows.

If you're feeling a little "wordy" you can get some fabric paint and stamp or paint on some words, or numbers or whatever, as I did below.  I think your house address would be cool too!

*** Make sure you do this part before you fill it with stuffing.

Enjoy your last days of summer...I know I will!!!!!

Pillow talk????

I love projects and crafting, the problem is so many times I spend to much money and time on them and I don't end up liking the end product. The pillow I just finished may be another example of this!

I bought some vintage ticking on ebay, some clean, crisp, white linen and a sewing lesson(by this time I totally could have bought the original pillow I wanted). With a few goals in mind, like learning to do ruffles, button holes and putting in a zipper, we set off to create a work of art!

The teacher had some ideas of her own and well, needless to say, the "vision" and the outcome were 2 totally different things. Note to self: less is ALWAYS more, !!!

My next project is to try to paint my kitchen table white. Ideas or tips gladly accepted!
