Dollar Tree DIY | Reversible Rug Pillow

To create this Dollar Tree DIY reversible pillow, you’ll need 2 of these rugs from their home collection.

(If your local Dollar Tree doesn’t carry this particular rug and you can’t it online, a couple of placemats will also work.)

This would be a darling throw pillow as is, but we decided to spruce it up a bit with some darling fall and Halloween elements.

We’ve even created a FREE downloadable pattern for you, to take the stress out of making your own! Downloads links can be found below.

Creating A Pumpkin

To create this pumpkin you’ll need some scrap fabric, rope and jute.

Begin by measuring the center of the rug both vertically and horizontally, and mark with a straight pin.

Apply a small piece of rope about 6 inches in length, to the center of the rug with a hot glue gun.

Next, using your free pattern, cut the oval shapes out of the white and tan fabric scraps.

Once cut, go around all the edges and gently pull any loose strings to fray the edges a little.

Secure the white and tan ovals together using a hot glue gun.

Position the ovals where you want, and secure into place with the hot glue gun.

Embellish the Pumpkin Stem

We decided to embellish the pumpkin stem by adding a little piece of curly jute.

To create this tight curl, cut a strip of jute about 12 inches long.

Saturate the jute with water and ring out the excess. Then wrap it around a crochet hook, knitting needle or any other oven safe item about the size of a pencil.

Place on a baking sheet and heat for 10 minutes at 350°.

Allow to cool and remove the jute from the hook, and you’ll have this darling curly embellishment.
