Handprint Pillows :)

I was looking for a fun way to keep Sadie's handprints on display at the house. :) This is what I came up with!

Cost: $10-15
Time: less than an hour
*Iron and Sewing Machine Required

You'll need:

• 2 different fabrics (one for the body of the pillow, one for the handprints)
• Heat 'n Bond (large roll - not the tape)
• scissors
• thread
• polyfil or batting

Start by tracing your little one's hands. Cut out their handprints and set them aside. Cut 2 pieces of fabric the same size to be the body of your pillow. The size of your pillow will depend on the size of your child's hands. Iron a piece of Heat 'n Bond to your handprint fabric - the piece should be just large enough to fit both handprints on. While the paper backing is still on, turn the handprint cutouts upside down and trace them onto the Heat 'n Bond paper backing. Cut them out. Remove the paper backing and iron them onto the pillow body fabric. Lay the pillow fabric pieces directly on top of one another, with the handprinted layer on top face down. Sew 3 sides to form a pillowcase. Flip the pillowcase rightside out, and stuff will polyfil or batting. Fold the egdes of the open end inward and sew across the edge. :) Ta-da!
