DIY $8 Pillow

I just love it when everything just clicks and works out! I was walking down the isles of Dollarama and I spotted these beautiful mats. They were $4 each!! I grabbed two and kept walking down the isle and spotted some lumbar pillows for $4 each as well! I knew right away what I wanted to do! This came together so easily I was SHOCKED!!
