DIY napkin pillows

here is a little tutorial for a very easy and cheap craft :) two of these only took 30 minutes. 
you will need (per pillow): 

*2 large table napkins
*stuffing
*a sewing machine
*pins, thread, ruler




I found these napkins at world market. i love the solid ones on back because of the scalloped edges.


You start by pinning wrong sides together (below)

Pin them an inch in, but if one of your napkins has a seam, just follow the seam and pin. Sew around the edges, but don't sew from end to end. leave an inch all the way around so your pillow has edges.


leave a hole about this big to stuff it.


stuff it as much as you feel and sew shut! yep, told you it was easy.


this will save you all kinds of dollars on fancy pillows from expensive places, AND you get to pick your fabric. :)
