If you have been reading my blog for awhile, you know that I love easy crafts.
Well folks, I don’t think this craft could be any easier!
Speaking of love…I totally {heart} my glue gun.
To me it’s almost as magical as duck tape! ๐
You could iron your cover if you like, personally I avoid ironing at all costs. ๐Once you have the pillow inserted, do test run of your heart placement.
I placed my hearts on the pillow with about a 2 inch margin on the side
and a 2.5 inch margin on the top and bottom.
It doesn’t have to be exact, just go with what looks good to you.
After you have decided on your desired pattern, it’s time to bring out the big guns.
That’s right! It’s glue gun time. ๐
I started with the center heart and worked my way around.
I outlined the back of each heart with hot glue and then placed
the heart on the pillow, pressing down for a minute or so.
and then stood back and admired.
I really love how a simple project can brighten up your home.
My total cost for this pillow was about $6.
Not to bad for adding a little touch of “Happy Love Day” to my home.
Plus it took me all of about 15 minutes to make.
Oh, speaking of Valentine’s Day…I also have a sweet cookie recipe you will love.
You can find this easy recipe here.

Looks great and I definitely admire the simplicity of making it! p.s. what’s with the washing up of the pillow cover? Does the glue endure washing in a washing machine or do I have to glue it again after washing? Have you ever tried it?

Irena, Thank you! I never actually tried to wash it. I really don’t think it would endure. ๐

Very cute pillow. I love the shortcut. I think that I would still stitch on the hearts just so it is more permanent.
