Sign of Spring: The Petal Pillow
Pile on the frilly floral pillows for a welcome early bloom
Yes, it is still winter but the first sign of spring is popping up all over the place. I am talking about pillows with shapes of petals sewn onto them, creating an extremely plush and fun floral accessory. It's a look to remind us of the season of rebirth, renewal and growth.
Petal pillows can be picked up through a variety of retailers, and they range in shape, size, colors, materials and price. I love the ones that look like hydrangea flowers for a glam, rock 'n roll feel, or rose-like petals for a soft, romantic feel. Whatever petal pillow you choose, each is distinctive and really fun to use.

Laura, creator of the website Come Together Kids, where she shares creative inspired ideas and projects, created her own petal pillow with fleece fabric petals added to a simple pillow form. She does a great job of taking you through the process of creating your own, very fun, petal pillow. Get her step-by-step here.
What I love about Laura's DIY pillow is that there is an option to use hot glue instead of sewing.
