I love my DIY pillow! Let’s stay home is a perfect motto for us because we truly are home bodies. I would never leave my house if that were a realistic option! But ya know, there’s groceries and craft supplies out there… Similar pillows sell for $20 and up, but you can make this pillow cover for about $5! I know a lot of people are afraid of DIY projects, but I really love them even if they don’t always turn out perfect. Ok, they hardly EVER turn out perfect! But, when I look around my home I see personality and character. And that makes me happier than any designer décor ever could! So, appreciate the imperfectness in your home and go for that DIY project! Have fun!
