Handmade Pillows

Ok, so here is the rundown of the pillow making business that I plan to embark on this week. These are all just idea and I would love feedback, so send me suggestions or comments in my ASK : 

  • Cost per pillow: $20, or 2 for $35.  When you factor in my costs to make each pillow, and then add the labour+time for sewing them (sewing each deer antler down is hard work!) this makes sense. Also, I discovered while browsing Etsy that this is almost half the price of the competitors. 
  • Colour & Appearance: I have a variety of different coloured fabrics (all floral, right now) and depending on the background colour, either a white or black accent colour will be used for the silhouettes. As of right now, I have only made the deer+wolf sets, but I have a few different design ideas for other sets as well !
  • What you get: A unique, hand-made 15”x15” pre- stuffed pillow (why sell just a cover, and make you go buy a pillow insert yourself?!) that will finish off any home or bedroom :) . (Note: if you live in a far off country, and the cost of shipping will out-weigh the cost of a pillow insert, I’m sure we can figure something out)

    I am also going to put aside a set of 2 pillows, and do a give-away at the end of the month to all my Blogger followers ! So stay tuned !!
