Homemade Christmas Pillow {with burlap}

 Happy December! It is hard to believe that Christmas is around the corner! It always sneaks up on me way too quickly! I made this little pillow a few weeks ago. I stamped words on cream colored burlap using acrylic paint.
I sewed some fabric strips, and ric-rac, and then backed it with  some muslin, since burlap has lots of nice holes in it :)
It isn't perfect....but it adds a nice little interest to the couch. ☻

Over the years I have made lots of Christmas pillows. It is funny how my taste and styles change over the years. I still have my old pillows- the ones I made using primitive stitching and tea-dying....:) remember those?  They are still cute in their own way....but...  I think I like this look a little better this year :)

Hope you are enjoying the wonderful Christmas Season!! {love it!}
