DIY POM POM HEART PILLOW
Continuing our DIY holiday gift projects this week is a super easy pom pom heart pillow that was inspired by an instagram pic from the lovely Anna Spiro of Absolutely Beautiful Things.
Love the look as much as I did? Here are the DIY steps achieve the look.
Most of the supplies can be found at your local craft store and your office supplies. You can use any striped pillow you like, but I found one at Ikea for only $6, which was a perfect ticking fabric.
Step 1: Cut your paper in half and draw your heart. Now you can grab any heart image from online and simply print it out to use it for a stencil, but I thought the pillow was sweeter if you drew it yourself.
Step 2: Cut your heart out and use the stencil to trace your pillow onto the pillow with a sharpie. Placement is up to you, but I found the stripes helpful in centering the heart by going in 7 stripes from each edge.
Step 3: Pick a color combo for the pom poms and start gluing into place with Fabri-Tac.
Step 4: Once your pom poms are all glued let them fully dry/set (approximately 1 hr). Since I have a little man around the house that loves to play decorator and play with all of my pillows I decided to protect my pom poms a bit more and stitch them into place. I thought it would be hard to get needle/thread through a pom pom, but it was super easy to do.
STEP 5: Place in it’s new home! Don’t you love all of the pattern play?
Close up:
So, what do you think? Are you ready to tackle this project. It came in under $10 for me, because all I needed to pick up was a pillow cover ($6) and a bag of pom pom’s ($2). Everything else was already in my house.

ON THE BLOG
My living room is one of the rooms that evolved drastically from when we first moved one. Originally I painted the walls chocolate brown and did accents of white, blue and orange. That lasted maybe 2 years.
Our dining room sat empty for months. Okay maybe it was empty for just a handful of weeks and then we couldn’t take it anymore and put in a folding table and plastic outdoor chairs, but in my mind that was still empty.
On the main floor of our house we have a Florida room. Being that it’s a Florida room it is a considered a 3 season room, because there is no heat in the room. The previous owners used it as an indoor patio with outdoor furniture and it looked like this when we moved in.
How adorable! Again, you nailed it. I would love to get this as a gift 🙂
