I first became drawn to animal-themed décor when I moved to a no-pets apartment and found myself bereft of animal companionship. After my husband pointed out that my sizable new collection was getting a little bit 1) expensive and 2) weird, I agreed to put my animal acquisition on hiatus. But then I found this adorable DIY animal pillow project, so I'm coming out of retirement.

Cate from Go Make Me designed these pillows using photo transfer paper and a picture of her own gray bunny for her daughter to take to camp. (The caramel bunny is a stock photo model.) The photo paper works with any picture, which means the potential for picture pillows is nigh without limit. You could use the technique to make pillows of your own pets, favorite Internet memes, or your own face.
I can't be the only one thinking of making a dozen pillows of my own face, with a different expression on each one, can I?

Shaw's Original Fir...
yes, you can.
I LOVE the ability to transfer images onto fabric--either pictures or my own drawn images. I recently made some "pocket pals" for my kids using a similar approach. It's so much fun! http://www.snugglebuguniversity.com/2013/03/pocket-pals.html
It might be fun to make a tiny version of your animals for kids--wouldn't a child love to have a pocket-sized version of their favorite pet?
My cat since 16 years passed away last summer. I want a Mojo pillow .
There's also a company that makes pillows of any photo you like, you just have to upload it, tweak it and order it: http://pillowmob.com/
Although there aren't many shape choices, only circle, oval and heart, I think. Still, for those of us who are severely sewing-challenged, it's a nice option to consider. ;)
just adorable animal pillows. my daughter love animals but we live next to a main road and I scared to get a puppy...this sounds like the next best thing. lol wish they could talk too...well make animal noises
