Do you love Pinterest?

It’s a great place to find inspiration.  Anytime I have something happening, Pinterest is the first place I look to find ideas.

Today I’m joining blogging friends for a Rock Your Knock Off Tour inspired by Pinterest.

Rustic Arrow Sweater Pillow

You can click on the images on the bottom of this post to visit each of the creative knock offs.

Are you following me on Pinterest?  I share and pin loads of DIY!  You can follow me on Pinterest here if you’re not already. 🙂

I found this fun and funky heart-shaped sweater pillow on Pinterest.  I clicked to check out who made it!!  When pinning, I always visit the website and pin from there.  If I don’t there’s too much I miss out on.  Like finding a new blogger to follow!

Jen, who is one of the creative sisters that blog at eighteen25, made this sweater pillow.  I wanted to make one for that romantic holiday coming in a few weeks!  I followed the easy steps Jen shared on the post so pop on over for the steps.  Plus there are a couple more pillows to check out!!!

Now for my version

I found a white cable knit cotton sweater at our Humane Society resale store.

The one thing I did differently…

…stick a rustic arrow through the pillow!

Actually, I left two openings for stuffing.  Then when hand sewing, I left two small holes to add the rustic arrow.

The arrow I made from a round spindle from an old chair and scraps of trim and broken pieces.  I cut the spindle in half.  One spindle became the arrow and the other the feathers??  Is it called feathers on the tail end of an arrow??

Anyway, pieces I glued with wood glue and nailed into place.

Then I stuck the tip onto one small opening and the tail “feathers” into the other.

Now for a commercial break to check out more ideas for spindles…

Time to take pictures of the “decorative no napping rustic arrow sweater pillow” I gathered a few more heart pillows and a small heart chalkboard.  The large fringed pillow in the back was made by my niece when she was about nine.

I love it!

Plus it’s more comfortable for napping! 🙂
