The other day I came across these cute yellow placemats at Target.
They reminded me so much of the colors in our master bedroom that I decided to get a couple and turn them into accent pillows!
I’ve seen tutorials on turning placemats into pillows on several other blogs, but here’s how I did it.
Step 1: Iron your placemats
Step 2: With scissors or a seam ripper, take out the stitches in one edge of the placemat
Step 3: Using your favorite polyester filling, stuff the placemat/ pillow cover
Step 4: Close the seam – I chose to hot glue mine shut (sooo easy)
Step 5: Admire your new pillows!
Here’s a reminder of what our bedroom looked like before our new pillows.
And here it is now!
Of course my girls felt the need to get in on some photos, as usual!
I hope you liked the quick and easy placemat pillow tutorial. Now go grab some placemats and start stuffing!

UPDATE: My tutorial has been featured on the Remodelaholic blog! I have to say, it has to be one of my favorite blogs for daily inspiration. If you haven’t checked it out before, I highly recommend it!
