So I started out with these bluish pillows I found at a garage sale for 50 cents each. Maybe they were in a free box actually. I have mom brain and can't be expected to remember this stuff! They've been used as pillow fighting tools in the basement and gotten quite dirty. I was afraid they'd get all frumpy like their owner if I washed them so I cut a slit right across the top and pulled out the stuffing - which I was quite surprised to see since I thought for sure it was a pillow form! They washed up quite nicely and I restuffed them. Restuffing took awhile since I had to run around and gather up all the pieces of stuffing my kids thought was the perfect "snow" to have a blizzard with in my bedroom. |

Sometimes I just gotta dig around in my craft room and find something that hits me. This is what hit me. This long strand of I-don't-know-what-to-call-it. I hot glued it in strips across the pillow, most importantly across the big long cut I made in the middle of the pillow. :) |

Well that was easy! One down, one to go. |

Since the coral pillow in the middle had a white flower, and now the one of the left had cream petals, I felt I needed to bring them both together. So I fetched some long scraps of fabric using all three colors - grey, white, and cream - and braided them loosely together. Since my son was being obstinate (he gets that from his Dad) and wouldn't hold the end while I braided it, I stuck it under a chair leg. |

Then I coiled it around and around while hot gluing it down. Now, you can't even see where I did surgery on the pillows. :) |

Both pillows probably took a whole 25 minutes to make. Quick and easy - just how I like it! |
