A unique way to display and use your babies new born hats and burp cloths. Make a pillow!
I got these burp cloths when I was pregnant. They were so cute and soft I could not resist. That was before I knew what was
really needed in burp cloths and promptly switched to
cloth diapers for a burp cloth like all the other Mom's out there. I just loved these little ones that I had thought, because they are so cute and soft. I looked at them trying to figure out what I could make with them and thought, PILLOW?!
Ok here we go
What you need
Filling(Often find good deals at thrift stores)
Two sided burp cloth
Needle
Thread
Seam Ripper
Step 1
Get to seam ripping, make a small hole to put your filling in. I had to remove a tag so I used the spot that the tag was located.
Step 2
Stuff your soon to be pillow, fill it up very well so it wont flatten out when your baby lays on it.
Step 3
Pin the little hole and stitch it closed with a needle and thread
TIP
A little liquid stitch will help prevent the old thread from unraveling, JUST A DAB!
You could use the glue to close the pillow if you are especially lazy
Step 4
This step is optional in your pillow making process.
Attach your cute matching New Born hat to what ever side of your pillow you like. I could not decide, so I pined it to both sides and looked and thought and looked and thought. I chose the blue side and I did not have a thread that I liked so I used a few stitches on the bottom layer of the hat for the photos. If I had the correct thread I would use a Whipstitch.
And that is it! A super easy way to make a pillow and show of a baby hat of yours! Hope you enjoyed this
