You Will Need (9 things)

  • 1 yd white Canvas Fabric
  • Black Satin or black canvas fabric. You could use Ultrasuede for this, too if you wanted. I personally like the frayed edged of the satin and canvas.
  • Sewing Machine
  • Black Thread
  • White Thread
  • Pillow Stuffing
  • Scissors
  • Straight Pins
  • Needle

Steps (7 steps, 60 minutes)

  1. 1

    Cut out 2 layers of your pillow shape in white

  2. 2

    Cut out 1 skull in black satin, canvas or whatever fabric you chose.

    SUGGESTION: If you are inclined, cut out two and make a skull on each side.

  3. 3

    Pin the skull to the white canvas, carefully centering it.

  4. 4

    Zigzag stitch around the all of the edges, eyes, mouth and nose of the skull.

  5. 5

    Pin the two sides of the pillow with right sides together and stitch around with 1/2 inch seam allowance leaving a 5 inch hole. This will be the hole to stuff your pillow.

  6. 6

    Turn the pillow inside out and stuff with the pillow stuffing

  7. 7

    Stitch up the hole by hand with needle and thread using the white thread.
