Vintage "Bunny Love" Valentine Pillow

I am excited to join 25 talented bloggers for The Scoop’s Valentine Blog Tour…bringing you loads of inspiration just in time for Valentine’s Day! I am sharing my latest project…my bunny love pillow!

Baby kitty is especially excited about this one…inspired by a pillow spotted on Joss and Main…pointing out that it could stay out waaay past Valentine’s Day until Easter! Good idea!


I simply added a pair of bunnies and a heart to a page from a vintage French dictionary…Valentine-y without being too cutesy and the just-right vintage look for me!

Here’s what you will need:

• Iron-on transfer paper (I use Avery brand for light fabrics)
• Pillow insert (Mine is down and came from Goodwill for under $3.00)
• Fabric for the cover…the amount will depend on the size of your insert

And here’s what you will do:

• Print the graphic on iron-on transfer paper at 8 x 10 size. It has already been reversed for you.
• Cut the fabric to fit your pillow cover front one inch wider and longer than the insert.
• Apply the transfer to the pillow front following instructions on the package.

To create the back of the pillow cover, I find that it is much faster and easier to use an envelope closure. You will find a complete tutorial, including tips for measuring your fabric, by clicking here. This allows me to remove the cover for easy storage and re-use the pillow insert for my growing collection of throw pillows! :-)

I decided to take advantage of last week’s rare Georgia snow to show off my bunny pillow outside! It looks just perfect for snuggling with a cozy throw! 

And just in case you need more Valentine inspiration...I've been having fun bringing a bit of a farmhouse twist to Valentine's Day this year...with lots of galvanized goodies and vintage ironstone plus sweaters and burlap to add some texture! Throw in some easy-to-do faux cross-stitch and you have my Farmhouse Valentine's Day! Have a peek at some of my posts to see for yourself:

• A Farmhouse Valentine Wreath with Sweater Hearts
• Vintage Ironstone Valentine Centerpiece
• Farmhouse Valentine Mantel
• Pottery Barn Inspired Valentine Tea Towel
• Valentine Vignettes and a Vintage French Valentine
