how to make an envelope pillow:
1. See how much fabric you need to fit the pillow and cut it where its a little longer than the size.
(I would do about 5 inches long ways and 2 inches the other way)
- also make sure you have two different pieces, one for the front and one for the back -

2. Using the one piece for the back, mark where the middle is. Add 3 inches to that and cut there.
(Mine got all messed up so don't really pay attention to the numbers.)

3. Cut the other piece so that its 1 inch past the middle.
4. Fold one of the long ends over 1/2 inch once, iron, then fold again, iron.
5. Pin and sew the one side. Do that for each piece you cut.

6. Now, onto that other piece you cut in the beginning. Kind of just play around with the yarn
and see what you come up with and get an idea of what its going to look like.

7. Once you're happy, hot glue it down.
8. Now that you've finished the front, lay that down facing up. On top of that, lay the top piece face down
then the bottom piece face down. Pin all the way around.

heart pillow:
1. For this one you need to cut out a bunch hearts. All of mine are different sizes.
2. Hot glue them down in any way or pattern onto the front piece of the pillow.
3. After doing that, make the envelope pillow and you're done!
