I just couldn’t help myself when I saw this nautical print placemat for under $1 at the Christmas Tree Shops.
But it gets even better, the other side of the placemat has this great antique looking nautical map.
How awesome is that map! So I simply unstitched a portion of the pillow and filled it with polyester fiberfill (bought at AC Moore- with a coupon of course). I sewed this bad boy back up and in a matter of minutes I had this amazing nautical antique map pillow.
Doesn’t it look fantastic? I love nautical and beach themed stuff, so this print is right up my alley.
I can’t wait to put out my summer décor, l think this pillow will look great along with it.
The other side of the pillow looks nice too and has a fun nautical look.
I’m really happy with how this pillow turned out. I find so much great stuff at the Christmas Tree Shops. Do you have a favorite store for home décor goodies?
I'm linking this project up to Tatertots & Jello, Beneath My Heart, 320 Sycamore, House of Hepworths, Delightful Order, Embracing Change, Rad Crafter, and Thistlewood Farms.
The map on the 1 side is pretty much awesome! Great score and I love the little frillies you put around the edge.
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute! I wish I had a Christmas Tree Shop near me!
ReplyDeleteI linked up my boys' map wall next to you on Beneath My Heart and HAD to come see this cute pillow that would go so well with the room! LOVE this pillow!! The price is awesome, but it looks like you spent way more than $1. Great job...love it!

Love your pillow! I recently made pillows from cloth napkins. It never dawned on me to use placemats. Thank you for sharing. Visiting from 320 Sycamore.
ReplyDeleteThis is brilliant. I love the map--and now I want to look for double-sided placemats!!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could find cool napkins like that! Your pillows look great! Very nice!
ReplyDeleteI would love if you stopped over to my blog and linked up to my Creative inspirations linky party happening NOW! I would love to have you there!

The navy and green together looks so nice!! I just recently changed our kitchen tablescape to navy and green have been very happy with it. Love the nautical too!!!
ReplyDeleteIt looks so great. I love the fringe. That placemat was a lucky find! Good eye.
ReplyDeletehaha!! I had to laugh when I saw your project posted on Beneath My Heart... because it looks VERY familiar!! It appears great minds think alike! I made pillows out of these placemats too!
ReplyDeleteYou can see one here in my bedroom: http://withywindle.wordpress.com/2012/01/26/a-long-overdue-bedroom-update/
