Simple and easy DIY no-sew fall pillow made with a placemat for your fall decor. It won’t take long either.
I’m so excited to tell you guys about this DIY project. It’s so easy, very inexpensive to make, no-sew and so cute!
I was strolling around Big Lots one day and noticed the cute pumpkin placemats in a nice neutral color. At first, I didn’t think much about them, but then it dawned on me. Why not make that a pillow? I love ideas that pop into my old brain like that.
items needed
- Placemat from Big Lots
- Pillowcase is a bit larger than the placemat
- Heat n Bond Iron On Adhesive Tape
- Iron
- Scissors
I already had an off-white linen 18 x 18 pillowcase that would be perfect for this project. I knew I didn’t want to sew around the edge of the placemat because it would be too much trouble, so I would use iron-on adhesive tape.
Iron the placemat so that it lays flat. Then cut strips of adhesive tape to go around the edge of the placement. Next, iron the strips according to the directions.
Next, after the strips have cooled, pull off the backing.
Lay the placemat on the pillow and then iron around the edges. You may have to push down for a few seconds for the strips to grab hold. I did put a towel on the table under the pillowcase to help cushion the pillowcase.
That’s it! Quick and easy.

I love how this came out! What a fabulous idea. I might have to make one of these.
I am not too crafty but you make this seem so easy to make. I have not gotten any new pillows in a few years so this seems like the perfect addition.
This is such a great idea! I would have never thought to turn a place-mat into a decorative fall pillow! So cute!
That is a cool pillow. These placemats are cool also and I need to get some.
Wow, that was cute. It’d never crossed mind doing that.
It’s lovely. It kinda reminds me of our projects when I was in high school when we made placemats by hand.
OMG! This pillow is awesome! and it’s so easy to make! We’ll have so much fun decorating our house for fall!
That turned out great. I love it! I need to make a few of these.
What a clever idea! I love they turned out.
