Super Easy Monogrammed Pillow

I made this super easy monogrammed pillow (SEMP) to add a little something to our bedroom. It was not only easy but inexpensive.

The pillow cover came from the local Dollar Tree - I went white so I could move the pillow from room to room. It started on the couch and has made it to every room in the house courtesy of a 20 month old. I have to say it did not really work in the kitchen. Any way - back to the SEMP. All you need is a pillow cover and some iron-on paper.

On your computer use MS Word or whatever you use and set it to the size of the paper - usually 8.5 x 11. Type what you want - I went with our last name initial but you could write: "This is where the magic happens" or "Don't drool on me!" Experiment with fonts and colors. Be sure to use the right iron-on paper for your fabric.

Now you print it, iron it, stuff it and lay your pretty little head on it.

Sweet Dreams....

Thanks for all of your comments -
A few answers to your questions:
-I can't remember what font I used but you can download all different kinds of fonts for free at dafonts.com.
-I used Wilton iron on papers for white fabric. They are available at any craft store.

Thanks to all who have checked this out! I always love hearing your feedback!

your pillow is just lovely!

I love the free monograms at briarpress (http://www.briarpress.org/cuts/browse?t=19). there are a bunch of free downloadable letters that might work for this project!

I'll link from my blog (if that's ok)! :)
