Silhouette Pillows

For a prior Christmas I made my dachshund owning and loving Brother and Sister-in-law and Father and Step-Mother a set of these pillows. I saw them in a magazine and they were $95 for the set (plus tax and shipping!). I new I could make them way cheaper. I found a picture, enlarged it, and printed it out. I traced it onto fusible web and fused it onto the felt, cut it out and fused it onto pillows I made. I probably spent $15 for the set (mostly for the pillow forms). They were a BIG hit. I trying to come up with an idea for this Christmas that will be so well received.

  3. These are great! I've seen the same thing in catalogs and hoped I could figure out how to make them myself. I have a friend who loves dachshunds so these would be a perfect gift for her.

  4. That is a great idea! My brother has shelties and I just know he would love it......You gave me an idea, I wish I could give you one, people love pet presents. Last year I monogramed scarves for my bother dogs with their names and made one for every holiday. This year my son has moved with his dog (And girlfriend) to DC from Florida and I am in the process of making his puppy some winter clothes.
