grain sack and felt ruffled union jack pillow tutorial
first you need to cut lots of long strips of felt
next i used chalk to mark out the outline of the union jack flag on to the hessian fabric.
then using a glue gun, i started adding the felt, i put a line of glue over the chalk then ruffled the strips as i stuck them down.
then i used a sewing machine to stitch it to the back piece of fabric.
and thats it, it only took about 1 hour to complete.

I love this! And it looks like something I can do with my brand new sewing machine! Now, I need to figure out how to do the Stars and Stripes…it's those stars that are so difficult! 🙂

These are wonderful! I love that they are in a more neutral pallet. I have a friend who's husband is from England and is always looking for ways to incorporate it into her decor with out the traditional red, white and blue. I sent her your link! Love it

I love this!!! The colors are just perfect too! I don't know if you've seen my Bedroom Reveal that I posted on Friday, but I made one that is very similar! I just love them! I wonder how many I could put in my house without it being weird? lol
Love the ruffles on this too!

OK- I think I could do it!? Maybe? I have a burlap pillow that's blank, just waiting for inspiration to hit and I have cream felt. I think it's meant to be!
