When I think of Halloween I think of ghosts, goblins and black cats. Sometimes it’s hard to blend in holiday decor with your primive or farmhouse decor – but this DIY black cat pillow will fit in perfectly and he’s anything, but scary! It’s easy to make and even if you are a beginner to DIY projects, I promise you can do this.  The primitive style makes it not only super sweet, but made to not look exactly perfect.  Everyone is sure to compliment your not-so-spooky black cat pillow!

Supplies

1 pillow insert

1 black pillowcase (I bought mine at Hobby Lobby but this one is similar to the one I used)

2 button eyes – I chose to use an amber gold sparkly buttons for eyes.

1 button nose

1 metallic embroidery floss

Black thread

Hand needle

Scissors

 

Instructions:

This is really a simple project!  First, place your pillowcase on your pillow.

Find a spot for the eyes to go.  You will want to place these about a third of the way down your pillow.

Thread your needle with the black thread and sew the button on.  You will want to make sure that you go all the way through the pillow at least once when sewing the buttons on to pull the buttons into the pillow a little bit.  Sew the other eye on the same way.

Next you will sew your button nose the same way that you sewed your eyes on.

The whiskers are up next.  Thread your needle with the metallic embroidery floss.  Starting from just under the button nose, add some wispy whiskers.  There is really no wrong way to do this!  I found it is easiest to make one very long stitch to create the whisker.

Your pillow is complete!

4th of July Wall Decorations, Inspirations and Ideas

I love to decorate for the holidays and different seasons, and the 4th of July is no excpetion. I love the red, white and blue!! While I was perusing around on Hometalk, I created this board full of July 4th wall decor ideas and crafts. You can find the tutorials and tips for making every single one of these 4th of July decorations!! Everything on my board is perfect for indoor or outdoor and such a fun way to celebrate our country! 

Are you already making plans for the 4th of July with family and friends? We always plan to swim all day, cook out, play corn hole, eat some more, maybe indulge in a few adult drinks, and then watch fireworks after dark. Sounds like perfection, right?

I’m planning to spend the next week gathering supplies to make a few of these decorations for inside and out. My front porch windows will look incredible with some of these wreaths hanging from them! Can’t forget my back patio though!!
