Proudest Present produced--Picture Pillows!!! (pathetic post title :0 )

For less than $10 each, these were by far the gift I was most eager to give.  I bought one yard of burlap and Avery Transfer paper at our awesome local Walmart and Pillows for $5 each from Family Dollar.
I printed off a black and white pic on my little ink jet printer of each of my grandkids onto the transfer paper.
Just iron the picture onto the burlap using the instructions included in the transfer paper - unless of course you throw the instructions away before you do it.  Then you google it... works just as well!  One mistake I made - learn this from me - don't forget to trim the excess transfer paper from the edge of the picture.  The reason Hudson's pic is smaller is because I didn't trim it and had to pick all the glue off the burlap and shred the edges further to cover up my mistake.  Because of my lack of sewing ability, I hot glued the burlap on the pillows and put a small drop of glue on each corner to keep them from fraying further.  Hardest part of this project was picking the pictures!
