How To Turn Your Ikea Placemat Into A Boho-Chic Pillow

Bench with pale throw pillows
TikTok user @judithjelenadiy created a gorgeous boho-chic pillow with something wholly unexpected and unrelated to pillow making: wicker placemats from Ikea.
Ikea Gallsopp placemats stacked on top of each other
You'll need two Ikea Gallsopp placemats, a white pillow, jute twine, black and gray yarn (or any colors that match your home's interior), a pom-pom maker, a needle, and scissors.
Wrapping yarn around one side of pom-pom maker
The pom-pom maker is easy to use. Wrap your yarn around one side of the device, then repeat on the other side before closing the tool and cutting the string down the middle.
Making a black pom-pom
Then, cut an extra piece of yarn, wrap it around the center of the tool, and tie a few knots. Repeat the steps to make ten pom-poms, five gray and five black.
Sewing up the placemats with the pillow stuffed between them
Sew the placemats together along the edges with your needle and the jute twine, and stuff the pillow inside before sewing them shut. Finally, tie the pom-poms around the pillow.
