Look-see what I made at our ward's Super Saturday! Makes me smile a lot :)
It was so simple to make, and BEST PART? NO SEW! Yep, just some fabric glue (or hot glue would work, too - in fact, I might go with that for the next one - yes there will be another one!)
Our teacher was the fabulous Nicole from A Dash of Sass. She had everything for us that we needed (i.e. a pillow, and about a yard of felt, glue, and pins). I just loved the many color combos we could chose from. I went with a rather mellow choice that matches my living room, but hw fun to do a pink, turquoise, or fushia for a little girl's room? You can read a how-to on this amazing blog called"H is for Handmade". TONNES of inspiration to be had there.
I added a cute wooden button to the center to finish it off, and I just love it!!

Awesome! How fun...my little pup would chew that too pieces though!!!
Wow! How great did that turn out!!!?? It is a funny thing - as I was making my pillow and writing the tutorial, I thought to myself "This would make a great super Saturday craft!" Thank you so much for the great mention, and for your support! I am thrilled that you liked the idea and were able to teach it to others!

Those are awesome! I'm going to have to keep them in mind for next year.
that is beautiful and I know it looks fabulous in your house. I'm thinking i want to move to your town- they really know how to do crafts!!!
This is stunning. I love the color and the thickness of the felt. What a fun idea for a super saturday too.
Bobbi! Love it, love it, love it! o.k. Is there a pattern? I would love to make this for my next Super Saturday. Please let me know. tessamei@cox.net
What a fun workshop!! Love the pillow, thanks for the idea!
I had so much fun doing this project! I used hot glue instead of fabric glue and it worked like a charm! It looks so great on my new chair!
I'd also love a pattern! :)
