Cactus Pillow!

This is a quick pillow I made. The cactus stuffed décor didn’t stay on and so I kept the pillow but did without re-adhering the cactus. So you make a basic pillow with the outside of the design facing in against the outside of the back fabric so that you see the back of the design and you sew around the edges until you have a few inches left at the end. Then you take the pillow and put it right side in through the hole and using your finger or a pen or pencil push out the corners to make them crisp and defined. You take stuffing and stuff it till it feels firm or soft enough and then sew closed. And there you have it a basic pillow!

Now the last thing I did was sew on the cactus décor which was a hanging décor but I cut the hanging string off and sewed it on. However, the cactus though stuffed was hard to sleep with it kept moving and I was nervous it would come off so I wasn’t comfortable with it on the pillow and eventually it did tear off and I decided to just keep the pillow without the cactus décor.
