Here’s another idea for a no-sew pillow. This one is in the shape of a snowman’s head.
This is a very quick and easy project, and this idea could be used for other occasions throughout the year. You could use a different color felt and create a dog or cat’s head, or a farm animal. Or you could do black felt with stars and a moon.
You can use buttons or other craft items for the facial features, or you can use paint if you prefer. You can go to town with different ideas for his face.
Don’t pack your snowman too tightly; it should still be a bit puffy so that it’s comfortable to lean on.
Have a look at the video and see if you like this idea.
