Here's a cool gift idea that's perfect for anyone… Pillows with Pizzazz! They're totally fun and easy. Here's what you need for each pillow…

Sew the pieces of fabric together with a sewing machine, leaving a space to stuff it. Turn inside out and fill with stuffing until it's as full as you want. Then stitch the opening shut. Now it's time to go crazy and decorate!
With a tapestry needle, stitch rainbow yarn or rainbow cording around the outside edge. Glue pom poms on pillow.
Use Treasure Fulls Yarn and Felt kit to make all the characters, appliqué shapes and pockets (instructions are included with this kit to make the characters). Sew the appliqué shapes and pockets on with a tapestry needle and rainbow cording included in the same kit. Glue pom poms on each corner and tie yarn. Put the characters in the pockets.
Sew buttons on the pillow, pulling the thread all the way through the pillow to make the puffs. Make tassels out of yarn and sew to each corner.
Sew Loom Loops around the edge of the pillow. Glue beads to the front. Put glue on rainbow cording and lay it on the pillow in a swirly free form pattern.
