DIY Peeps Pillow

DIY Peeps Pillow | Club Crafted

DIY Peeps Pillow | Club CraftedIt’s almost Easter! This Easter will be the first chance I’ll have to meet my new niece, so needless to say, I’m incredibly excited! This year will also be the first time that my family will meet my boyfriend’s mom and stepdad, so after four years, it’s a pretty big deal. Basically, we have a lot to look forward to this Easter and my mom puts together an amazing brunch every year with an Easter egg hunt for my nieces and their friends, so it’s always a fun holiday to be home with my family. 

Since Easter immediately makes me think of Peeps, I made you guys this giant Peeps pillow! 

DIY Peeps Pillow | Club Crafted DIY Peeps Pillow | Club CraftedBy giant, I mean it’s about 20 inches tall, which is a pretty large pillow. It’s an easy way to decorate for Easter that is extra soft and comfortable to cuddle with. I was really happy with how this project came together because I’m not really a whiz with a sewing machine, but I think it looks pretty darn good! 

I made a HUGE mess with this soft plush fabric, but it was fun to make nonetheless. Considering most of my sewing projects result in me having to rip out seams and start over, I’m pretty darn proud of this one, ha!

Time: 1 hour

Supplies:

  • 1 yard soft fabric
  • Pillow stuffing
  • Black felt
  • Scissors
  • Fabric glue
  • Pins
  • White or matching thread
  • Hand stitching needle
  • Sewing machine

DIY Peeps Pillow | Club CraftedStep 1: Fold the fabric in half and lay flat. 

Step 2: Either freehand drawing the Peeps shape on the fabric with a marker or create a template out of a large piece of fabric (see my example above). Cut out of the folded fabric so that you have two equal sized pieces. 

Note, this type of fabric is really messy to cut, so you may want to keep a vacuum handy!

DIY Peeps Pillow | Club CraftedStep 3: While the fabric is folded, cut 4-inch strips leading to the folded edge so create two very long strips of fabric. 

Step 4: Sew the two strips together to make one continuous piece. 

Step 5: Lay one bunny shaped piece with the fluffier side (front side) facing up. Starting in between the bunny’s ears, lay the long strip of fabric front side down and pin the edges of the fabric together. Repeat pinning all the way around the shape, pinching fabric as needed around corners. 

DIY Peeps Pillow | Club CraftedStep 6: Sew around all pinned edges, back stitching at each end. Trim excess thread. Now you should have one bunny shaped piece with a border all the way around it. 

Step 7: Repeat the above process with the opposite bunny shaped piece, sewing all the way around the shape so that only the space between the bunny’s ears is left open. 

DIY Peeps Pillow | Club CraftedStep 8: Carefully turn the fabric right side out through the hole between the ears.

DIY Peeps Pillow | Club CraftedStep 9: Stuff pillow filling through the opening, pushing it to the bottom and molding the pillow with your hands to achieve the correct shape. Continue stuffing until very full.

Step 10: Thread a hand stitching needle with thread and stitch the opening between the ears closed using an invisible stitch. If you do not know how to make an invisible stitch, simply make the stitch small because the fabric type will hide the stitch easily. 

DIY Peeps Pillow | Club CraftedStep 11: Cut three equal sized circles out of black felt that are about 1 inch wide. Use the fabric glue to glue eyes and a nose onto the Peep’s face.

DIY Peeps Pillow | Club Crafted DIY Peeps Pillow | Club CraftedNow your pillow is ready to display, lay on, whatever you fancy! It makes a fun gift for kids (in fact, I’ll probably give mine to my niece this Easter) or just for throwing on the couch to feel festive for spring. As a pillow hoarder, I’m perfect happy to have one more pillow on the couch!

WELL, I was going to post this photo and talk abou WELL, I was going to post this photo and talk about the new pins in the shop...but they SOLD OUT in 12 hours instead πŸ˜­πŸ™ Andrew and I are so overwhelmed with the love of the #FIPWarriors community. Thank you to anyone who's purchased a pin to support Milo's treatment! We're so close to the end now! One more batch of pins coming up soon 😽
What do you mean I have to take down my Christmas What do you mean I have to take down my Christmas decorations?! 😭 Half our neighbors already took down their Christmas lights, so I guess the only goal is to not be the LAST one with lights up. How long do you keep up your decorations?
Maybe next year I'll finally remember to do a holi Maybe next year I'll finally remember to do a holiday card before it's a week til Christmas, so we can actually send one πŸ€ͺ When we get Christmas cards, I always feel like a little kid getting mail again! Do you send a holiday card??⁠
⁠
(Grab this DIY card holder in the blog archives! πŸ‘‰)
More product is coming soon! πŸŽ‰ I'm honestly SHO More product is coming soon! πŸŽ‰ I'm honestly SHOCKED to see Milo's pins sell out so quickly. We made 50 with the expectation that we wouldn't sell very many, but I just put in an order for more inventory! 😭⁠
⁠
This time we'll be selling black and white cat "FIP Warrior" pins to help raise money for Milo's treatment. Stay tuned - a pre-sale is coming! Pins will ship again in early January. In the meantime, there's plenty of other products available in the shop! (Visit my @etsy via the link in my bio)
NEW LAUNCH! 😸 Thank you all so much for your su NEW LAUNCH! 😸 Thank you all so much for your support of Milo while he goes through FIP treatment! I designed a new enamel pin to help us raise the funds to pay for Milo's treatment...THEN we sold almost all of the pins in just in a few hours! I'm so thankful and in shock of the generosity of our FIP community 😭⁠
⁠
There are a few left and more on the way, so you can SHOP NOW on @etsy and here on IG!! If you want a pin and they are sold out, please tag yourself below! Visit the link in my bio to purchase πŸ›β

"FIP Warrior" is the name we give to cats fighting FIP and the humans who help them, bringing awareness to the disease and possible treatments. Our Warrior Milo is almost halfway through his treatment and we couldn't be more grateful to see him getting better! Every purchase from my shop helps us to pay for his expensive treatments and is so, so appreciated πŸ™πŸΌ
🍁 I can't beLEAF it's been a whole month since 🍁 I can't beLEAF it's been a whole month since my last post (oops!) but I had to fit in my one obligatory fall photo before I dive straight into Christmas! If you caught my Stories recently, you may have already seen why I've been so absent...⁠
⁠
Last month, our sweet Milo was diagnosed with a disease called feline infectious peritonitis (FIP). It's very serious and has required our full attention to give him daily injections that should help him recover. The treatment is 84+ days long and has taken a huge emotional toll on us. You can learn more about Milo's FIP story in my profile Highlights!⁠
⁠
Long story short: I've been too emotionally drained from Milo's treatment, my regular work and the crazy world around us to even think about social media 😣 I truly don't know how you fellow creators do it! Hopefully the cheerfulness of Christmastime gives me the urge to create again! (πŸ“Έ cookies made for a project with @spectrumorganic)
