Make it Yours Day {57}

What a lot of creativity!  Thanks to all who linked up last week.   Sorry about the miniscule size of those linky pictures last week.  After I discovered the problem, I was afraid to change things for fear of losing those projects already linked up!

Here are some highlights from last week’s projects.  Christina's Adventures  shared this revamped mirrored centerpiece.  I used to have one of these original gold toned mirrors on my dresser when I was a little girl.  I thought it was oh-so-elegant!

I am definitely making one of these sweet headbands for my daughter!  Jill at Made it on Monday shared a tutorial for this adorable headband.

Sarah at Faded Country shared a tutorial on how to make this cool wall mantel.  

K at Vintage Skye posted a tutorial to make these Ballard knockoff silverware molds.   A very ambitious project.  Go check it out!

C.R.A.F.T. shared these cool large format thumbprints! 

And away we go!

Sweet Ruffled Pillow

I just finished this sweet ruffled pillow for my daughter’s bedroom.  

It started when I spotted this aqua zebra fabric at Wal-Mart.  My daughter is CRAZY for anything zebra these days.  It was perfect because her room is painted a beautiful Tiffany box blue.   I bought a half yard and a package of pale mint green blanket binding.

I started by marking a circle on my fabric with my super-complicated-calibrated-circle-maker. 

Then, bunching up the binding as I went, I sewed it along the marked circular line.  Before doing this I quickly ran a line of stitching along the edge of the binding so the two sides of the binding wouldn’t slip apart.

Then I repeated the above using a slightly smaller circle.   I sewed on four rows of binding.

To get the binding to lay down better, I snipped every few inches with my pinking shears.

For the center, I used fabric glue to make a pretty flower shape.  When the glue was dry, I stitched it onto the pillow. 

I covered up the messy center with a big black button from my Grandma’s button box.

I think it’s super sweet.   And she loves it!

It looks perfect in my daughter’s Tiffany blue, zebra-loving room!

Have you made a pillow lately?
