Handprint Pillows


Need a good gift idea for someone with kids or someone who loves your kids? Consider a handprint pillow!

I made these for the grandmas, my sister-in-law, and my husband's grandpa. It's an easy project that can be customized for anyone!

Start by tracing the kids hands (or puppy's paw) onto cardboard or heavy paper. Use iron-on transfer (like heat 'n bond or wonder under) to trace the prints onto fabric, and top stitch them into place! I used a simple pillow case and a preform pillow for mine, but you could always make a closed case and stuff your own, too.

All of the recipients of these have loved them, and I've gotten requests from other relatives for some more!

Happy Crafting!
