How to Make an Easy Fall Pillow Using Dollar Tree Items
Today I'm going to share with you a simple and easy fall pillow using humble Dollar Tree items. It's appropriate for fall and would be a great addition to your home décor in a Farmhouse style!
Tools and materials:
- Placemat
- Hot glue
- Pillow
- Cotton
- Wooden beads
- Scissors
This is the cute fall pillow we are going to make!
1. Glue placemats together
First, I started with a black and white checkered placemat, which has the word GATHER woven inside a fall-themed wreath. I found this in the kitchen section of Dollar Tree.
I also bought a plain black and white checkered cotton placemat for the back side of the pillow.
I placed the placemats facing each other and drew a straight line of hot glue on the edges of the placemats and stuck both of them.
I stuck all the 3 sides of both placemats, leaving one side open. Alternatively, it can be sewn, but I chose to use hot glue for quick results.
2. Insert a pillow
Next, I inserted a pillow through the opening on the fourth side. Alternatively, you can use polyfill.
3. Close the open side
Later, I applied a straight line of hot glue on the fourth side and used a few clothespins to hold it in place.
This is how it looks so far! Isn't it pretty?
4. Add tassels and beads
We can stop at this point, but I wanted to add tassels and wooden beads. So, I got cotton yarn and a wooden beaded garland from Dollar Tree.
How to make tassels
To make the tassels, I wrapped cotton yarn around 3 fingers around 30-40 times. And I knotted it by bringing it all together.
And, I took another piece of yarn and tied just below the knotted area as shown.
Next, I cut the ends of the tassel and trimmed evenly.
Then, I took 3 wooden beads and inserted them through the knotted yarn.
Now, all of the beaded tassels are ready to be decorated.
I stuck the beaded tassels on all 4 corners of the pillow using hot glue securely.
DIY fall pillow
The tassels added the final touch to this cute fall pillow. It looks store-bought! This farmhouse decor piece will be a beautiful addition to your home this fall.
