All hearts for this emoji pillow

Everyone is emoji crazy and I thought I would join in on the craze and show you how to make your own using items from around the house, writes DIY mom and blogger Eleanor Douglas-Meyers.

WHAT YOU NEED Brown felt Red felt Yellow material (I used a yellow T-shirt that had a stain because I am all about the budget) Teddy/pillow stuffing Fabric glue Sewing machine/needle and thread WHAT TO DO – Double up your material and use a big plate to trace a circle on the wrong side – Pin on the inside of where you made your mark and cut out the circle – Use the felt to cut out two hearts from red felt and a smile from the brown – Turn your material right side out – Check your phone’s emojis to see placement of shapes and mark it off – Put fabric glue on the back of the felt pieces (with the brand I use you also need to put glue on pillow and wait for it to dry first) – Attach pieces to the front of the pillow – After the glue dries, turn the two “pillow pieces” right side together again and pin – Sew around the circumference of the pillow, leaving a gap – Use the gap to turn the pillow inside out (well technically right side out) – Stuff with pillow stuffing and jiggle around to get the right shape – Sew the hole closed

And TA DAH – a In Love Emoji pillow
