DIY pillows out of placemats NO SEW!
Some time ago a dear reader friend Peggy, gifted me some gorgeous placemats.
Peggy does not have a blog but she has a shop on line you can go check out.

I used them on our table for sometime.
Until one day my younger boy spilled some red juice all over them!
Fortunetly, I was able to clean it and the stain was removed. With that being said I removed them from the table. Fabric and boys just do not go well together. A few days ago I had a brain storm!
How about I make some pillows....
They would even look as though they were sewn....see the little stitching?
This project took me all of 10 minutes to whip out.
OOPS it is upside down, better go and flip it now!
The liquid stitch was fantastic to work with. I stuffed the pillows with some stuffing I bought at Walmart.
It comes in a huge bag and is in the sewing section.
So, if you ever see place mats, you should see them in a new light other than just for the table!

Great idea Debbie, now you can use them all around your house! They look great! Martina
I love those. Good idea and maybe they will stay clean a lot longer. thanks for joining the party.
Now that is a great idea!! Love your choice of placemats and who knew it could be so easy to make them into pillows! You are amazing Miss Debbie!!
Really great idea! And it isn't just boys that have that problem, it includes spaghetti eating men!
what a grat idea~
great idea and they look fab!!!
xo, M
I find it so hard to keep nice looking placemats at the kitchen table. Hubby is a stain making kind of guy, so I've finally just opted for some ugly leather looking ones that can be wiped clean.
Yours really did make nice looking pillows! And so easy too.
There you go, Debbie Dear, being the smartest one again! I love it! Those are really pretty place mats and they make a wonderful pillow.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
You had me at "no sew"! Love these. Now I will start searching yard sales and thrifts for some cute place mats
to repurpose. If I wore a hat, it would be off for you:)
I love your ingenuity. I wish I could find some fabric in that pattern. I would love to use it around here.
You did do it & they turned out great! Clever idea to turn them into pillows.
Awesome idea. I used to use a webbing tape that you would iron on, but it kept getting stuck to my iron. But this looks so much easier!
WOW, that is a great idea! You got me at NO SEW! Have to try it, thanks for sharing!
Debbie, what a great idea. Why can't I think up great things like this? You never cease to amaze me, well done and so cute! XO ~Liz
Wow great idea Debbie, leave it to you to think that one up!
it would take me 10 minutes to set my machine up!This I love, I have my machine set up most times because I'm a sewer but I also love this stuff works great! Beautiful!!
They turned out perfectly...Great idea!!!
Those were cute placemats and now they are cute as ever pillows. I love to repurpose things. It gives stuff a whole new life. Cute project Debbie!

That's a great idea! I use fabri-tac on everything. I don't own a sewing machine and if I did, I would have to be taught how to use it. So using glue is faster and cheaper! Your pillows look very professional. I'd never know they were placemats in a former life.
Thanks for the tip. The placemats make wonderful looking pillows!
Dee
Hi lovely lady.
This was a great idea Debbie.
Your pillows are Beautiful !!! You always amaze me.
XXOO Diane
The placemats are beautiful and make great pillows. What a great idea and easy...that is my kind of project! hugs, Linda
Those pillows look great. I've never seen that "glue" before. I wonder if it would hem pants.
AWESOME!!!! You are so clever!!!
Those are fabuless! I never think to look at placemats that way and I did read about this somewhere else on the internet but it still doesn't hit me when I see them in a store! Maybe now it will since you posted about it:)
I absolutely love them! I have a project I'm working on right now and I really don't want to drag my sewing machine out So that glue would be perfect! Great job!
Vanessa
These are so cute. I love the place mats.
Debbie, what a great idea!! I just love seeing all of the novel ideas that you come up with! This was really cute!
Wow Debbie, you are so clever! Those pillows are adorable, I want some now too! Thanks for the quick lesson!
Nancy
Fabulous idea! I don't sew so liquid stitch sounds like my kind of product. Those place mats are really pretty and made even prettier pillows!
The pillows look wonderful, Debbie. Nate Berkus suggested this project on one of his earlier shows, along with using a fabric shower curtain to cover dining room chair cushions - they're already treated to repel liquids!
Have a lovely evening, Debbie!
~ Wendi ~ xo
I think that is a great idea!
O'Debbie, I love those pillows! You are such an inspiration. Now I'll be on the lookout for some placemats. You're idea is a whole lot easier than sewing.
Enjoy your day,
Gail
You had me at "no sew" !! I am "sew" trying this !! Har Har Thanks for sharing.
Debbie...so no sew..I have often thought about using the liquid stitch,does it hold and last?..I have to drag the sewing machine out of hiding,find the right color thread,thread the needle,etc..it sometimes isn't worth the trouble for small projects,it is good to know if the liquid stitch is the answer to my small projects,thanks for sharing and I LOVE these place-mat pillows.

Debbie, you simply amaze me! My placemats are getting a new look in your home. Maybe I should sell my sewing machines and buy tons of Liquid Stitch-ha! They look fabulous and thanks for sharing with everyone. Peggy
Genius! I love this project and the pillow turned out super cute.
What a fabulous idea. I love them. The fabric is just wonderful and they looks fantastic on your chairs. Hugs, Marty
These are adorable. I haven't been out and about in the blogging world for a bit, and almost forgot how much fun it is. This is such a cute print and I love what you did with the no sew! I will have to file this one under "G" in my head. For "Great ideas"
LOoks great Debbie. I have done this too. Quick, easy and so many options!!

Debbie, you're brilliant!! This is such a fun idea and I can't wait to try it! I'm always wanting to change out pillows on the back porch and I think this is an inexpensive way to do it. Thanks for sharing.
~Holly
oooh! I need to do that and make some halloween pillows!
I love these! Now I'm gonna be on the lookout for some cool placemats. Especially now that I know how to make them without having to sew! Eeekk!!
Love them Debbie! I always see napkins and placemats in a new light now since it's so easy to make pillows out of them. Yours turned out beautifully!
Heather

I found your link at WUW, and just how stinking clever is your idea?!! And they look awesome! I do sew, but have recently fell in love with no-sew glue and this idea couldn't be more perfect for it! Thanks for the enlightenment!
Hi!!! Loving everything you have done decorating for fall and Halloween! The pillows were a great idea. I haven't seen placemats like that. I did just buy a french writing pillow at Homegoods for $18 which I thought wasn't bad. Great job!
