Stacks and Flats... and All the Pretty Things...: placemat pillows

I mean, are there really any cheaper, more awesome pillows out there than placemat pillows??

Ok, so I'm sure there are some more crazy cheap ideas out there but, seriously, these are my faves :)

I've shared a couple tutorials for some seasonal placemat pillows here and here with you guys.

But I love these guys even MORE because I can keep them out all. year. long .

I scored on some cheap blue and white placemats at Target last spring and about hopped up and down in the aisle when I saw them.

(ok...so maybe I did. You know you do too!)

I found them when they were being clearanced so I snatched up three of those babies.

They only had one of my favorite print- the trellis design but I snagged two of the flower ones.

Because three is always the perfect number, right?

I filled them the same way I did my other two sets of pillows.

Just ripped open a seam on the side, stuffed the pillow stuffing in and then sewed it closed.

Easy peasy lemon squeezy.

And they may or may not have been scrubbed several times already when sticky hands get a hold of them.

And they've come up clean every time :)

Here they are hanging out in the living room I've been posting about all week.

If you missed it's transformation, check those posts out here and here.

The big one in the corner was an actual pillow that was clearanced so I snatched him up too :)

So do you love placemat pillows as much as I do?

Made any lately??

Do tell :)

Oh and have I told you yet that next week is going to be ANOTHER week of printables,

Valentine's Day style?

Oh yes. Get excited.

Cuz I know I am!
