Deck the Halls with Holiday Cheer: Pillowcase Cover DIY

I have a confession. You know how you really aren't supposed to listen to Christmas music till the day after Thanksgiving? Well.. The week following Halloween I had my Amy Grant Holiday pandora station blaring, fireplaces going, and Christmas crafts surrounding me. And I have been just itching to share these creations, but had to wait for the appropriate Holiday season.

During this time, I discovered another confession I have to share: I LOVE pillows. And I LOVE how easy they are to make. And I LOVE how they freshen up a room so effortlessly. For these pillows I used felt for the letters and holly leaves - felt is an awesome fabric because you don't have to finish edges! And let me tell ya, for a sewer with not a lot of patience, that is a great quality to have in a fabric.

 I cut out the size and shape of my letters on scrap paper and laying it out on the pillow I was covering to see how they would fit. It's easy to just print out a word and cut out the block letters as well. Below is the shape of my Holly leaves - I cut out that shape on two different shades of green.

What do you do around the Holidays to bring some Christmas Cheer to your home?

Cheers!
