Darling DIY: Graphic Pillow (Part 2)

So, you will soon realize that we LOVE LOVE LOVE pillows! We've been dreaming about having our bed filled with colorful throw pillows for so many years, and now we're making the dream a reality. Plus, its such a fun and easy project for amateur sew-ers and crafters like us. And the possibilities are endless! Just like with coasters, you can really let your imagination run wild! You can use so many materials and textiles to make or decorate throw pillows, and you can have them fit ANY visions you have for home decor. They're wonderful. 

We saw a variation of these pillows at a store, and thought they were so cute! So, we decided to make our own for our lovely parents.  They are actually made with old pillow cases (which are cut smaller- so we left 2 of the original seams on and closed the other 2). We used iron-on transfer paper (we'll so happy to say that after YEARS of trying to get a perfect transfer, we've figured it out! All it takes is patience. Make sure you let the hot iron fuse the fabric for more time than less and then SLOWL peel the back off) for the graphic, regular pillow stuffing, and some cute tassels that match our parents bedroom. 

They turned out pretty cute, didn't they? Our parents thought so too. :-)
