polka dot burlap bow PILLOW {{tutorial}}

I love this pillow...I love that is Halloween but not too much so I can leave it up for the thanksgiving holiday as well!
It was Super easy to make also!

Here's what you need: 
 Pillow (or stuffing)
fabric of choice
a 2 inch thick strip of burlap

The how to :
Lay your fabric out and cut it out to fit your pillow
* i left my "folded" side in tact so I only had to sew 3 sides*
Now lay it out and pin on your burlap strip where you want it on your pillow
 I now turned it right side in and start to sew the sides together
make sure to leave an opening on the bottom to fit your pillow or stuffing in
After stuffing your pillow in
pin your bottom shut and sew over it or hand stitch it shut.
now cut a small piece of burlap to make your BOW

fold the two ends to meet in the middle
take one more small strip and fold it over the middle section - hot glue or hand stitch to hold together.
*i hot glued my bow onto the pillow*
that's it...easy as that you are done!
you can easily add more to your pillow as well
maybe some rosettes or the word BOO along the bottom!
Happy crafting!!
