ASSEMBLING THE PILLOW
With right sides together you will lay your panels down. Taking your tapestry needle you will whipstitch starting at the top of one side. Sew down, across the bottom and up the other side. Be sure to leave enough room open on the top to flip the pillow right side out and allow for room to fill with your stuffing of choice!
Once you have flipped the pillow right side out, fill it with stuffing and whipstitch closed. Tie off and weave in your ends.
POMPOM EMBELLISHMENTS
Taking your pom pom maker of choice, simply create 3 small pompoms and attach them to each corner of the pillow! After you’re done, enjoy displaying it wherever you would like!
