Upcycled Toss Pillow




One of our toss pillows got a stain (oops!) 




But why toss the toss pillow (har har) when you can just upcycle it and cover the stain? Besides, Grandma's guest bedroom needs a toss pillow on the bed. So I measured out a strip of fabric...


Got my handy fabric mod podge



Coated one side and stuck it right over the stain.




Now for some cute factor! My Grandma does crochet, so I have been using random little elements of it throughout the room. I grabbed three granny squares and coated the back with the mod podge...


Stuck it right on top. Notice I gooped a lot on there because it's yarn and has lots of nooks and crannies. So to get it to really stick i put enough on there that it would seep in. 



Some corners gave me a little trouble so I used Liquid Stitch to tackle them. 





I layered like so...



And let it dry over night


Pretty!



It works out perfect and I quite happy with it. It has the main colors of the room (pink, maroon and gold) all in one, snazzy!

"Make Time To Cuddle" Pillow


I have still been recovering from my meltdowns. Which boggles my mind, seems like I have been resting at least 2 weeks now (compared to what I WAS doing) so shouldn't my eye twitch be gone by now? I guess the body needs what it needs. Anywho, I have been wanting to post this for a while now so here it is, half assed, because I am exhausted. 

It's pretty simple. 

Find a light colored pillow. Doodle on it with some pencils. Grab some sharpies in the colors you want. Color. Done. I dunno how washable it is. 

This is my husbands favorite pillow, I am not even joking. He uses it to send me secret messages. Usually something about cuddling....
