How to Make a Pillow from a Placemat

Make placemat pillows in minutes with these easy to follow instructions.

Total Time 10

Start with a plain white linen placemat (mine was $1 at my local Big Lots). Any plain placemat that is a solid color will work for this project.
Remove a portion of the seam from one side with a seam ripper.
Use the opening to hand embroider a monogram on the front of the placemat. My "H" was done with brown embroidery floss.
Use the opening you have created to stuff the pillow using stuffing from the craft store.
Close the opening with a needle and thread or a sewing machine.
