DIY Reindeer Pillow
Christmas posts are in full swing this week. I'm excited about our Christmas front porch this year! I have not one, but three projects for you this year for the porch. I shared my Jingle Bell Wreath yesterday. Today I'm sharing a DIY Reindeer Pillow and Sunday I'm sharing a large sign. Lots coming up so make sure you subscribe to upcoming posts.
I used a cover from Hobby Lobby to make the pillow which really makes it quick and simple. It is covering one of the regular outdoor pillows. Since this is in a covered area and will only be outside this month. I'm not worried about this not being made with outdoor fabric.
This is a piece of flannel fabric. I cut it to fit my Silhouette Cameo long cutting mat. You will also want to use Heat and Bond
. You can read all about my other tutorials for this project HERE and HERE.
Using the larger mat enables you to cover the entire face of the pillow. Use a ruler to center the deer before ironing it to the pillow.
It is working out beautifully with the reindeer and jingle bell theme that the porch has this year. I'll be sharing the porch in its entirety next Tuesday the 8th.

I included a free one that I found on line if you just wanted to trace. The one that I used was a purchased design directly from Silhouette. I can’t share it since it is a purchase.
Love the pillow. Do you have the file on the deerhead used for this pillow. The tutorial linked shows a different front facing deer. Thanks.
Christy, love tht pillow…and the plaid. your front porch is going to look gorgeous.
Eeek! I LOVE this! Especially the plaid flannel…I’ve been trying to think of a good idea to make some pillow covers for my front porch, and I think this just might be the winner!! Thanks for sharing!

Your porch is so inviting! Makes me want to cozy up with that adorable pillow and a hot beverage! Happy holidays, Christy!
That is so pretty Christy! Loving all the plaid. 🙂
Beautiful! Love the plaid!
That pillow is just adorable. Wish I had one of those Sihouette’s.
Oh my gosh Christy – we are swooning over your pillow! We heart all things deer and plaid related during the Christmas season – and you’ve incorporated both in this adorable pillow. What a cute way to greet your holiday visitors! So fun sharing tour week with you – Merry Christmas!
