Easy XOXO Felt Letter Pillow

Hi everyone!Here’s a cute hugs and kisses easy felt letter Valentines inspired pillow! My name is Jen & I write a little blog called City Farmhouse. Today I am sharing this fun & easy XOXO felt letter pillow.This is my own interpretation of  fabulous pillows using my favorite washed linen & charcoal felt.(The great thing about this pillow, it can be used all year long:)!

Supplies to make this XOXO pillow:

Two piece of fabric or a pre-made plain lumbar pillow

A printer for the XOXO pattern

Grey felt (Or felt of color of choice)

Light colored crayon or chalk

Scissors

Cardstock

Sewing machine or needle and thread for hand-stitching

Pillow insert

 

So I began with 2 pieces of fabric. One piece for the top of my lumbar pillow and 1{extra long} piece for the envelope back.Click HERE for my envelope pillow TUTORIAL.I chose a washed linen but you can use any fabric, just be sure it isn’t lighter in weight than the linen{it may shift on you while you sew}.

Next I took my gray felt and laid it out for tracing, I used 2 pieces from the craft store.

And printed {& cut} 1-X and 1-O on heavy card stock. You can use any font you like to make the XO’s.

I found an apricot colored crayon in the junk draw & traced each letter twice:).

Then cut the fabric out.

I then pinned & sewed just inside the outer edge using a longer stitch (4) to give more character.

Be sure to iron both front & back of the Valentines inspired pillow. Pin front facing sides together & sew away.

I created a little “LOVE” nook under my stairs where I could smother my boys with hugs & kisses before they head out each day:).
