This spring, I thought that it would be fun to create a botanical-inspired, personalized pillow for a fresh pop of color and fun. These felted garden pillows were easy to make and started with a pre-made pillow from one of my favorite international box stores.

I handmade the felt flowers. I chose two different styles that complimented one another.

Then I selected a beautiful font and created the letter for the pillow from felt.

Once everything was set and dried, I added a fluffy pillow insert. The entire project came together quickly and is a great idea for a friend, Mother’s Day, or you!  You can use first name initials or last name initials. How sweet are these for the sofa, favorite chair or bed?

 Of course, for me, I had to make a chicken pillow!

Following the same directions as the felted garden pillows, I used the custom Tilly silhouette from my website’s logo for this pillow.
