I just love shopping the Target Dollar Spot.  I found it is a great way to spruce up your decor at a really affordable price!  This fall the dollar spot has just been amazing!  I found these cute Halloween dish towels last week, came in a pack together for I think $3, and when I got home I started thinking that when these were hung up you really wouldn’t actually be able to see the October 31st….which was the cutest part!  So I had the idea to make them into a pillow!  I had done this before last Valentine’s Day with heart placemats from the dollar spot, so I thought it would be fun to do it again!

So here is what I started with.  One towel that says October 31, and one buffalo check towel.

First I flipped the towels facing in on each other.  After washing and drying the towels they weren’t exactly even so I did my best to line them up.  I actually wet them with a spray bottle to stretch them back out to their normal shape.  After they dried I pinned it all around except I left about a 6-7 inch gap on one side so that once mostly sewed I could flip it back over.

I just hand stitched it all around as I still have not been able to figure out my sewing machine!  See below the gap I left so I could flip it around.

Then flip it around and you are able to stuff the pillow.

I still had an extra bag of Poly-fil lying around from when I made the Valentine’s pillows.  This was about $3 from Hobby Lobby.  It would be even cheaper with one of their $40% off coupons if not on sale.

Then stuff the pillow, I only used about half the bag, and finish hand stitching it the rest of the way around.  Super easy and affordable Halloween pillow!

It added a great addition, and Halloween transformation, to my fall mantel!

This is about as scary of Halloween decorating that I do around here!!
