This is a tutorial on how to DIY a shaggy heart design pillow. But it doesn't have to stop at hearts! If you just want a shaggy pillow, you can do this as 1 solid color... Or maybe a shamrock shaggy pillow for St Patties? Or maybe the first initial of your name shaggy pillow? It's pretty endless at this point :)

OK, so things you will need:
- 14x14 pillow form (or whatever size your heart desires! just remember, the bigger the pillow requires a larger span of patience). *You can get pillow forms from any fabric store like JoAnn's or even Walmart.
- 5x Red, blue, pink, purple, yellow felt (you may need more or less depending on the size of your pillow & the size you draw your heart. I needed 5 sheets for my 14x14). You can get felt sheets from any fabric store, craft store, some supermarkets/drugstores.
- Approx 3-5 yards of fabric for both the pillow case + all the petals (again, will depend on your pillow size. For mine, I used a queen sized bed sheet I bought from the thrift store for only $2.99!)
- Hot glue gun + hot glue sticks (I recommend buying a big pack... I used A LOT of glue sticks for this project. From JoAnn's I bought a 24 pack of pro strength gluesticks by "Ad tech" mini size for $4.99... I used about 18 of the glue sticks)
- Scissors of course
- Needle and thread OR fabric glue for a "no sew" pillow case
- Ruler or measuring tape
- Colored pencil or a pen (to make markings with and to outline your heart)

and last, but not least....
- A LOT of patience

This project took me about 2 1/2 days to finish, 3-4 hours per day. But maybe you will work faster than me, and can do it in 1 solid day. Like if you had a sewing machine, or use fabric glue. Also, if you use thicker fabric than I did, you won't need to cut out so many circles to make pedals out of!

Regardless, I had a ton of fun making the pillow and filming it for you guys. Plus, my hubby was oh-so touched that I worked so hard on a pillow for him :)
