Elephant Pillows

A few years ago I tie dyed a scarf for myself,but I never wore it so the other day I decided to sew some pillows from it.The funny thing is,its an old cloth diaper.(my old cloth diaper) :)
It's purple with elephants so whats not to love?

I used black and white acrylic paint for the stencils,wich I found here and here.
I took apart an old pillow for the stuffing.I love the fact that this project cost me nothing and is from all reused materials.

I have an awful,boring brown couch wicj takes up half of my room,so I'm going to cover it with lovely,colorful pillows to chear it up.
I didn't make a tutorial,because it's as easy as it can get.
1.cut the cloth diaper in half
2.stencil the design on each half
3.fold it in half
4.sew it up
5.stuff it

  2. Great pillows, I always use up old cushions pillows, so much better for the environment than buying new stuffing and they turned out so cute too.
