Jen Allyson Pillow

My amazingly talented friend, Jen (The Project Girl), designed this beautiful pillow for Hazel and Ruby’s Crafternoon line that is available at Joann stores! This girl designs paper and party supplies, fabric, digital scrapbooking lines and so much more. I’m telling you, she’s incredible! She also has a beautiful home and the most adorable little boys to top it all off. When she told me she designed a Crafternoon project kit, I had to check it out. pillow contents

The kit comes with a sewn pillow cover, iron on design, and instructions. The instructions are written out like a recipe. I thought it was so cute and just had to mention it. I love fun details like that.pillow iron on

Step 1: Iron out any creases or wrinkles in the pillow cover.

Step 2: Place the words on the pillow cover and iron with a cool iron.

I was scared to iron directly on the plastic, because I thought it would melt to my iron, so I didn’t have it hot enough the first time and had to go over it again. I had my iron pretty warm the second time and it still didn’t melt the plastic onto my iron. Thank heavens!pillow peel off

Step 3: After ironing, wait for it to cool for 20 minutes. This was marked as very important in the instructions, so I wasn’t about to rush it and pull it off sooner. After the 20 minutes, the plastic sheets peeled off smoothly and left the design on the pillow cover. I didn’t have any pieces flake or not transfer. So easy!pillow zipper

Step 4: Stuff a 16×16″ pillow form in the bottom of the pillow cover and zip close.
