Halloween Boo Pillow

in Celebrations, Crafts & DIY, Halloween / Fall, Home Decor

Halloween is a fun season to decorate your front door or front walkway but it’s also a time to play up the spooky season indoors too. Get inspired with a fun seasonal Halloween Boo Pillow using a hot glue gun and embroidery thread technique!

Sure most crafters have used their hot glue gun to attach items together but have you ever thought about using it to “draw” on your craft?

Years ago I made these these DIY spell books using this hot glue gun drawing technique to add designs and texture. This time around, I thought that I’d repeat this process, but on fabric instead of a book! Luckily my friends at Fairfield World were up for another collaboration with their fluffy pillow base forms to bring my Halloween couch accessory to life!

Open your pillow case (this is the one I used) and insert a scrap piece of cardboard inside. I wanted to be extra careful about the next hot glue step incase the glue oozed through the fabric and stuck these layers together. Spoiler – they didn’t but I still suggest this step!

Next use your water or air dry marking pen and draw your word or icon of choice. In this case, I though a script “boo” was in order.

Heat up your hot glue gun and S L O W L Y push glue over this guide line in a thin stream. Allow this to cool completely.

Thread your needle with embroidery thread and begin inside the pillow, threading up and over the hot glue gun guide and insert back into the pillow case. You’re basically covering the glue with thread to make it colorful and soft!

Take your time covering the hot glue with your embroidery thread colors of choice. To make it a little more unique, I mixed oranges for the B, purples for the first O and black with grey for the second O.

This is a great craft to prep in advance and bring on the go! Sew while binging a tv show (I recently watched all 12 season of Big Bang Theory), as a passenger of a car, or at the sidelines of your kid’s game.

Once the sewing is complete, stick the pillow form into the pillow case. This fluffy form is filled with our favorite Poly-Fil so you know it will not only be cute but also comfy if someone does rest their head on it in our living room.

To get in the Halloween mood, I swapped out all the picture frames on our picture ledge with pictures of all our DIY Halloween costumes from the past! This boo pillow now completes this little corner of our living room tis spooky season! See it put together in action on my instagram reel!

Some highlights of what my yard produced this year Some highlights of what my yard produced this year:
🎃 Gourds - currently 42 harvested and drying, but tons more coming!
🌞 Yellow Roses - these 2 plants bloom at least 4 times in spring and summer!
🍅 Tomatoes - tons of Roma and Supersweet 100 breeds used for appetizers, sauces and salads. Happy to grow and to gift these away!
🧄 Garlic - planted last fall and harvested in June. Doing this again this October! Should I also do onions?
💜 Lavender - The bees love them. I missed the window to dry them but putting that on my list to try next year. Would you want a little satchel of lavender? 
🥒 Cucumbers - slice it up and add some sea salt. Yum!

Our group of 2 adults and 5 kids were hosted by TreeTopQuestPhilly and enjoyed a sunny Saturday exploring obstacles, climbing and ziplining and we'd highly recommend this park! 
.
Here some key details to know before you go:
- The staff is super knowledgable, friendly and patient with climbers of all abilities, but it is self paced where you are in control of your own equipment. 
- You attend an equipment fitting, safety instruction and practice course before you climb 
- Expect to spend the full 2.5 hours of your reservation and you likely won't need sunglasses in this shady spot
- Gloves are an optional purchase, but we didn't get them and no one got any blisters
- There are 4 levels of courses with Level 4 being for those 12+ only. It's HIGH but thrilling to those willing to check it out! 
- Porta potties and lockers are available at the check in area and there are plenty of benches and picnic tables to sit at in the park. Spectators are free to watch from below. 
.
PROMO CODE: Use code SPOTOFTEADESIGNS for 15% off your online ticket order to climb!

Special thanks to @wildercrafting who shared this tip YEARS ago, and I still use it when creating my simple banners.

You can start this fall with garlic! You start planting them in the fall, and you'll enjoy them by summer.
