Steps (7 steps, 60 minutes)
-
1
Cut out 2 layers of your pillow shape in white

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
Pin the skull to the white canvas, carefully centering it.
-
4
Zigzag stitch around the all of the edges, eyes, mouth and nose of the skull.
-
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.

Turn the pillow inside out and stuff with the pillow stuffing

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