Simple Treasures


Have you ever gone to an antique store and loved the look of the old table runners or doilies. You leave without them though cause you can't figure out what you would do with them. My mom found the perfect idea. Someone had taken them and made little pillows with them. They were charging 15 dollars a pillow, crazy! We decided to try our hand at it. In about an hour my mom and I made 3 of them. The cost to make them is about 3 dollars each. We felt like they turned out really cute. The only thing we felt like we would do different next time is to tea stain the background fabric, to make the whole pillow look old. But look at the absolutely adorable country pillows we made for just pocket change. We are hoping to open a booth at the local craft fair in July to see if other people might enjoy these little bed pillows!
