Dorm Decor Series: DIY Glitter Monogram Pillow



                                                            
   Today, I'm going to show you how to make your own personalized monogram pillow for $30.50!

This may sound expensive, but it is almost impossible to find a glitter monogram pillow! There are two or so that I found on Etsy, but you couldn't customize your glitter or pillow case cover. 
This similar pillow retails for around $50.00! And it is smaller!!
By using this tutorial, you can personalize the color and texture of the pillow and the color of the monogram! It will only take you about 30 mins to make.





You'll need:
an Iron/Ironing Board
a 12 inch Iron-on Glitter Monogram-the one I purchased is from Etsy HERE -$14.50
a pillow case-Mine is 18x18 in Hot Pink from Amazon HERE -$15.99

How-to:
1. Take the pillow insert out.
2. Heat up your iron to 320 degrees Fahrenheit (it should be just above the cotton setting).
3. Iron the surface of the pillow case before you place the monogram on it.
4. Take the protective wax paper off of the sticky side of the iron-on monogram.
5. Place the monogram in the center of the pillow.
6. Take the protective parchment paper and put it over the plastic.
7. Once the iron heats up, place the iron over the monogram for about 10-20 seconds.
8. Peel the plastic and wax paper off slowly, if the glitter monogram comes up--repeat process and iron again until it sticks.
9. Once it sticks, pull off the plastic and wax paper and you'll have your wonderful personalized monogram pillow!






 The Final Product!
