It was so simple, and turned out so cute!!
Using my favorite iron-on image transfer paper (Avery brand), I found a photo of my cutie-patootie niece and printed it out on the paper.
I cut it out and followed the package directions to transfer it to some fabric.
Then I just made a little "pillow" out of it by cutting out two pieces of fabric and sewing them with right sides together.
I then turned them inside out and stuffed with polyfil.
I always finish by handsewing the opening shut with an invisible stitch.
I made a very small pillow because I intended it to be an "ornament". But you can make them any size. I didn't add the ribbon, however, because I thought my sister might want to choose the ribbon to match her daughter's bedroom.
Look how cute it is hanging in my tiny neice's room! Love it~

Wow - this is such a cute idea! I would love to do this for my neice. Does the transfer paper go through your computer - or is it an iron-on?
Hi Pam:
You print the image on the paper using your computer, but then you iron it on to the fabric.
hope this helps!

SUCH a cute idea!!! Thank you so much!!!!! Adorable....
Very cute! How could you not love it?
So cute! You have inspired me! Quick question - when you print a small image like this on the transfer paper, how do you do it so that you don't waste a whole sheet? Do you print multiple images on the paper at the same time? or do you know if you can run part of a sheet of transfer paper thru the printer? Thanks!
That is so cute! What an adorable gift idea.
Totally, totally adorable.

Precious!! I love how true to life the color is. I have tried the photo transfer paper before and my colors seem to change when I iron them on. Maybe I am keeping the heat on for too long or something...yours turned out perfectly!!

I love doing these kind of pillows they make special gifts even more special. I made all of my Son and their wives a pillow using their wedding picture and ribbon colors to match their wedding theme.
LOVE IT, Wendy! You're so creative (no surprise!) - and what a fun subject to transfer into a sweet pillow!!! I bet your sister loved it!

I'm thinking that little ornament you made would be great for Christmas gifts, too. It's never too early to start thinking about them. You are so creative.
Just adorable. Thanks for the idea!

I think I need one of my son so for all the moments he won't cuddle with me, his pillow will ;)
