DIY $8 Pillow
Did you know that you can easily make throw pillows using an inexpensive rug from the dollar store??
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!!
Supplies you will need:
Floor mat from the dollar store
Lumbar pillow from the dollar store
Plastic or large needle
Yarn
Piece of cardboard or a book to make tassels
Step By Step Instructions:
Step 1: lay floor mat on a flat surface good side out
Step 2: in the center of the mat, lay the pillow insert
Step 3: fold over the overlapping pieces to wrap the lumbar pillow
Step 4: Using a blanket stich, sew the edges with the yarn (I used black), until both sides are stitched up
Step 5: Optional - make tassels (see my other post on how to make tassels
Step 6: attach tassels to pillow
Step 7: ENJOY!!!
