I’m going to be quickly sharing a few projects for Fall/Halloween this week so you still have time to create before it’s all over and Christmas is upon us. (I know…bite my tongue.) First up is this sweet Jack O’ Lantern Pumpkin Pillow Cover. This qualifies for three of my favorite things: quick, easy and cheap. All you need to get started is an orange pillow cover, black peel and stick felt, scissors and the jack o’ lantern template. (Sources listed at the end.)
First thing to do is print out the template. I always print templates on card stock so they are a bit easier to trace. Regular paper will work fine too. Cut out the eyes, nose and mouth.

On the back side of your peel and stick felt, trace the face and carefully cut it out. Iron your pillow cover. Place the face pieces on the pillow cover to figure out your spacing. One at a time, peel the backing off each piece and press firmly (with your fingers) to the pillow cover.
That’s it! I actually love this so much I am going to make another one and use them on my front porch. If you have kids or grandkids it would be a fun project to do with them. It just makes me grin.
I thought I would take this opportunity to show you my fresh bittersweet from eBay. It was maybe the prettiest I have ever seen. If you follow me on Facebook, you already have the link. If not, click HERE. There are still a few listings that are ready to ship.
When I was editing these pictures it dawned on me that I needed to switch out the September printable for something Halloweenish. I decided on this Trick or Treat printable from last year. I can see this bookcase from where I sit and work so I am enjoying my view. Festive and fun.

If you are on Facebook, I would love for you to join me over there. I share my obsession with Poldark and Downton Abbey along with other bits and pieces that might interest you.

Great ‘no sew’ idea! I don’t recognize the slip cover, what am I missing? Maybe Hobby Lobby?
