Heart Shaped No-Sew Pillow




This no-sew pillow was so fun and simple to create. Trow it on your couch, bed or bench to add a touch of love in any space. The supply list is short and the creative possibilities are endless. 

You're going to need some fleece. This is where you can have some fun with your pillow. I chose to use two different colors for mine but you can do a solid color design or get a patterned print if you'd like. 

Supplies you'll need:

- 2 pieces of fleece. The size can vary depending on the size of the pillow you are looking to make. Mine is about 18 inches wide. 
- A pair of good scissors 
- Stuffing. Now this is where you can get savvy. If you have an old pillow laying around go ahead a rip that sucker open and use that filling. Or just go buy a cheap Walmart or Dollar General pillow. It is so much cheaper than buying a bag of fill. 
-As for the template, you can print one out using a Cricut or Silhouette machine or if you have a steady hand draw one using a poster board or piece of cardboard. You're going to need 2 hearts, one just a few inches smaller than the bigger one, enough to tie. 
- A piece of chalk or pen to draw your outline on the fleece. 

Place the bigger template on the pieces of fleece and draw the outline on. 
Repeat with the smaller one. See the picture below 




Cut out both of your bigger hearts, your front and back pieces. 
 



Next you'll want to cut strips along the outside stopping where your outline for the smaller heart is. These are the pieces you are going to tie. See the picture below. 



After you have it cut up all the way around the heart you can begin tying them. Make sure you double tie them so they don't come undone.

You'll also want to leave a space big enough to fit your hand in to fill/stuff your pillow. 




Stuff your pillow enough to make it firm but be careful not to over stuff or it will end up looking like a ball. I found this out the hard way. 

Once your happy with the amount of filling go ahead a tie the rest of it up and your done! 

Super simple and easy. No sewing involved. It's a great project for kids. 

You can make a few and toss them on your couch. You could even take it a step further and iron on a saying making cute conversation hearts! I just might have to do this next!

Dollar Tree Shelf Liner Cricut Hack

Image
This little Cricut hack took my crafting to a whole new level! Since I have discovered this hack I haven’t used vinyl as a stencil since. I mean, why would I? This dollar tree shelf liner cost only $1.00 per roll and it’s 6 inches longer/wider. Below is a step by step walk through on how to make a simple wooden sign using the Dollar Tree shelf liner as a stencil and transfer tape. Get your rolls ready. Cut a piece from each roll to size for your stencil. Choose an image or saying for your stencil and cut with your Cricut or  Silhouette machine. I use the lowest setting for this. It’s a little thinner than vinyl. Remove the letters or image with a Cricut tool or similar tool you can buy on EBay , that’s where I got mine. Once you remove the letters set the stencil you’ve created aside. Take the clear shelf liner a.k.a transfer tape back off and place the transfer tape over your stencil. Take your time and make sure it’s lined up close to the same. Watch for

DIY $6.00 HOME sign

Spring is right around the corner it seems, especially where I live in PA it’s 50 degrees in January today! So needless to say I’m feeling like Spring today! I recently discovered that Lowe’s has packs of 10 paint sticks for only 99 cents! Naturally I know they are going to make a great addition to my DIY projects. So I grabbed a few and began brainstorming. This rustic looking floral HOME sign is my first paint stick project. There will be more to come, I already have tons of ideas that so want to try.  For this project you will need:  • 2 packs of paint sticks (totaling 20 sticks)  • An H, M and E wooden letter (I got mine from Walmart for 97 cents each)  • Paint (any color you choose really)  • Floral bunch of lilacs (again, from Walmart 97 cents)  • Hot glue gun and 2 glue sticks  If you’d like to watch my DIY YouTube video you can here   https://youtu.be/77AejbFOFcQ    or continue reading for step by step instructions  Here’s a quick pic of all the

Thrift Store Farmhouse Decor

Image
This DIY was so simple to do and cost me less than $10.00! First let me say that pretty much any vase, bowl, candle holder and container can be transformed into beautiful farmhouse decor, all you need is some white paint! I’ve had this vase for quite some time and used to use it but I’ve been re doing rooms and it kinda got pushed into a closet and that was it. Then the other day while scrolling through Pinterest I saw a beautiful centerpiece with pretty flowers and thought, my big vase would be prefect! So I went to Walmart and bought one can of white spray paint, the cheap 99 cents kind of course. Then over to the Dollar Tree to check out their Spring floral collection. I ended up buying 4 bunches of purple lilac looking flowers ($4.00 total) and headed back home. The hardest part of this whole project was trying to find something tall enough and sturdy enough to place my vase on upside down to spray paint, it’s a rather large vase. I ended up using a big mason jar and 2
