Sew simple pillow...your kiddo can do this

I found four placemats for $3.00 and couldn't wait to see them on my girl's bed. No, we don't set the table on our kiddo's bed, we turned them into pillows. I made the first two and my oldest made the  third one. It took about 10-15 minutes and it couldn't be simpler! Using a seam ripper to take a few of the side stitches out. We recycle old pillows by re-using the stuffing for new projects. Once the pillow is stuffed hand stitch (like we did) or machine sew a few stitches to close the hole. Enjoy!
Note: not every placemat will work for this craft, just make sure you look at before you start taking it apart. :)
