Decorate Adorable Pillows With A Easy Cricut Home Decor Idea

I got two really cute dog pillows for 50 cents each at Walmart’s clearance cart. I wish there were more, but I’m happy to have at least two matching pillows.

When I bought them, I wanted to use them for a creative project to make my living room look more fun. I had a few ideas, like using a Sharpie or thread to add some character to the pillows. I ended up using my Cricut and Iron-on Vinyl to turn the pillows into something very fun and functional.

This post is part of the monthly Creative Craft Blog Hop, where I co-host each month with Sara of Birdz Of A Feather blog. 

At the bottom of this post, I will direct you to the next blogger on the list to continue your journey of some wonderful and creative projects. 

Start with your imagination and what you already have on hand

If you have read my blog more than once, you know that I am a lover of dogs. I only purchase pillows made with durable outdoor fabric because of my dogs, and since they are usually kicked off the sofas anyway, I don’t spend much on replacing them. I like them to be easy to clean and to replace. So finding these cute outdoor pillows with dogs on them for such a low price is a good win.

Now that Christmas is over and I’ve pulled the pillows out of storage, it’s time to make these cut pillows even more special with my own style and creativity, with help from my Cricut maker.

When I bought the pillows, I imagined the dogs’ heads adorned with party hats, crowns, and other bling.

Cricut Design Space app had all the images I needed for this DIY project.

A couple of years ago, I hosted two baby showers for grandbabies #2 and #3, born four months apart, and created a Onesie Decorating Station activity for each party. In my craft room stash, I still had a bag of iron-on vinyl scrap pieces from both parties, just waiting for me to come up with Cricut ideas to use them up.

I love DIY home projects that don’t cost me extra money and use up long-forgotten craft supplies!

Using up the old scraps of heat transfer vinyl, I cut out glittery gold crowns, pink glitter bows, bling dog collars, and festive party hats.

Next was the best part!

I didn’t have a plan for where to put each cutout. I just went with the flow and figured it out as I worked on the pillows. Using my Cricut Mini Heat Press made it super simple to attach the iron-on vinyl cutouts to the pillows.

Turn everyday pillows into personalized home decor.

This simple idea to turn store clearance pillows into custom throw pillows shows that Cricut home decor ideas are a great way to make a big difference with very little effort.

As a homeowner, Interior Designer, and blogger, I have spent years on DIY home decor projects. Cricut project ideas are a great source of inspiration and wonderful ways to personalize your home.

Remember to Pin!

These pillows were cute before, but now they are so much more fun. I have always believed that you can create home design ideas that are playful and functional. Creating a home you love is serious business, but you don’t have to be boring about it.

Hugs,

I have several other pillow posts for you to enjoy as well. Such as the time I updated pillows with pom poms, the time I attempted to make no-sew pillows with fabric glue, and the time I shared some of my go-to outdoor pillow tricks.
