DIY No Sew Placemat Pillow:

Supplies Needed:

• Hot glue sticks and glue gun
• Cloth placemat
• Cotton stuffing or batting

That’s it! Three supplies is all you need for this fun fall treat. Ok, now let’s get to work!

Directions:

1. First, fold your placemat in half so both halves are even.
2. You can then use your hand to smooth it out flat or even an iron works great if you wish.
3. Once your glue is nice and hot, open up the pillow and run a line of glue along one side as well as the bottom of the square you have created.
4. You don’t want to run any along the second side since you will place stuffing in there, and you don’t need to run any along the top since that sold is already closed from the fold.
5. Press the two pieces of fabric together (top half and bottom half) to they stick and stick well. You can even place a heavy book on them to make sure they seal well.
6. Now, take your cotton or batting and give it a good fluff. Place as much as you can in the center of the pillow.
7. Make a final line of glue along the open end. Press it closed and apply pressure to be sure it is sealed.
