Chanticleer Pillow

This post may contain affiliate links.

How about a nice quick and easy DIY/Upcycle to start the new year?  If you have a pretty kitchen towel that you hate to use for fear of staining it (not that I ever do that!), I've got you covered!

It all started with this beautiful kitchen towel that I found at Lynn's Estate Sale - the one I went to 4 times?!
I absolutely love the bright colors in this towel and thought it would make a beautiful pillow. Let me show you how....
First, fold it in half.
Stitch almost all all the way around it.
See where my fingers are?  You need that opening to stuff your pillow.
Using some Poly Fill Fiber Fill, stuff your pillow.
Stitch the opening closed and just like that, you have a new pillow!  How's that for quick and easy?
I decided to display it in the kitchen on my ice cream parlor stool.

Do you know the story?

  4. What a great idea! Chanticleer is full of personality, and I like the bright, cheerful colors in the graphic. Thank your for sharing this post in the Talent-Sharing Tuesdays Link-Up 49.
