Happy Wednesday Friends! On my recent Fall Home Tour, you saw these bargain mini pillows. Today I'm sharing how I made them uniquely mine with a few simple touches...

I started with these adorable mini pillows from Target's bargain bins--$6 for the pair! Cute, but a little generic so I decided to take them up a notch...

For the pumpkin, I added an estate sale brooch at the stem and a few tiny buttons:

The gold polka dot pillow was pretty fabulous on its own but I wanted to fall-ify it, so I added an acorn; borrowed from garland that was also from the bargain bins:

Simple and sweet neutral fall decor!

ReplyDeleteSo cute! Why didn't I think of that.
ReplyDeletePerfect! I need to start thinking like you because I wouldn't think of that!!
ReplyDeleteThey take on your personality now, Cecelia! Great idea!
ReplyDeleteI thought the pumpkin pillow was cute ... but adding the brooch and pearl buttons made it really special. The acorn is just perfect for the polka dot pillow. All look so pretty on your "Rosie".
ReplyDeleteThis is my kind of pillow making...awesome! Quick, inexpensive and now, totally original!
ReplyDeleteThey are lovely!
ReplyDeleteYou're one talented Lady!!! I love the brooch pillow and the acorn one!!! Too cute! Pinned!
ReplyDeleteSee, how do you think to do these things??!!! I see those same pillows and just pass them by because they look so boring and it never crosses my mind to do anything else with them! I need to go shopping with you!! :-)
