Everyone knows the saying Carpe Diem - Seize the Day!
I'm trying to live by this...however my boyfriend loves it so much he got a tattoo of it.
Therefore as a joke moving in present i made him a Carpe Diem cushion.
Was super easy...this is how i did it! You should have a go!
FIRST - Inspiration Ideas on ways to do the text:
SECOND
All you will need:
1. Plain Cushion - I brought a grey one from Matalan -£6.00
Or you could make a cushion if you have time.
2. Blue felt - Hobbycraft.
3. Matching blue thread.
4. Scissors and needle.
THIRD
Draw out the letters on to the felt and cut out.
Place the letters on the cushion cover (remove the inside cushion) try to keep letters in the middle and straight.
Pin the letters on.
In the same colour thread sew around the letters with a neat stitch. Don't worry too much as the stitches will not be as visible.
Put the cushion back in....there you have it!
A lovely simple cushion.
The best part is you can really customise to the person... perhaps a name or date?
