Harry Potter Deathly Hallows Pillow with Kunin Felt

Sharing is caring!

When I asked my favorite Harry Potter fan (aka my niece Josie) what craft we could make for her bedroom, she said a Harry Potter Deathly Hallows Pillow. Created with  Kunin® Classic™ Felt, some Poly-Fil from Fairfield World, and fun antique gold trim in about an hour. 

I love that this pillow can be used by a kid, teen, or adult for all types of Harry Potter Crafts and decor!

DIY Harry Potter Deathly Hallows Pillow

The Sign of the Deathly Hallows was a triangular mark used as a representation of the Deathly Hallows, three legendary objects that allegedly if united, would make one the “Master of Death”, also known as the “Vanquisher of Death” and the “Conqueror of Death”. The sign was actually composed of three separate marks that, united, make up the sign. The Elder Wand was represented by the straight vertical line, the Resurrection Stone by the circle surrounding it, and finally, a triangle enclosing them both to represent the Cloak of Invisibility.

Here's what you need to Sew a Harry Potter Pillow:

• Kunin® Classic™ Felt Yardage – 1 Yard, Black
• Poly-Fil® from Fairfield World™
• E6000 Fabri-Fuse Fabric Glue by Eclectic Products
• Fancy Gimp Trim – 1 Yard, Antique Gold
• Sewing Machine
• Thread with Bobbin
• Straight Pins
• Fabric Scissors – I love my Amplify Mixed Media Fiskars!
• Metal Ruler or Yardstick
• White Chalk Pencil

How to Sew a DIY Deathly Hallows Pillow:

STEP ONE

To begin the Harry Potter Deathly Hallows Pillow, gather all supplies. Measure and mark two 18″ by 18″ squares from one yard of Black Kunin® Classic™ Felt using a yardstick and a white chalk pencil. Cut out with scissors. I love my Amplify Mixed Media Fiskars for heavier materials like a double weight of felt or corded gold trim.

STEP TWO

Measure and mark the top center of both of the squares, and then create a triangle by drawing a line to both bottom corners with a white chalk pencil. Cut out with scissors.

STEP THREE

Place both layers of Black Kunin® Classic™ Felt on your work surface, then carefully cut and attach the gold gimp trim to the bottom edge of the triangle with straight pins.

STEP FOUR

Repeat the above step, attaching the gold gimp trim to the second and third sides of the triangle with straight pins. Make sure that the trim overlaps in the corners. This will prevent the trim from fraying.

STEP FIVE

Sew all three sides of the pillow through the trim and both layers of felt, leaving a four-inch opening at the bottom for stuffing. Make sure to backstitch all three corners to prevent the gold gimp trim from fraying.

STEP SIX

Lay the gold trim out in a circle, just a bit smaller than the triangle, and then secure with E6000 Fabri-Fuse Fabric Glue. Use a light touch with the glue to prevent it from soaking through the top layer of felt and gluing to the bottom layer of felt.

STEP SEVEN

Repeat with a straight line of gold trim from the top point to the center bottom of the triangle. Attach trim to felt with E6000 Fabri-Fuse Fabric Glue which goes on a milky white and dries clear. Set aside to dry. Add a bit of extra glue to the cut edges of the gold gimp trim to prevent fraying.

STEP EIGHT

Once all of the glue has dried, stuff the pillow with the original Poly-Fil® from Fairfield World™ making sure to get into the corners of the triangle with a stuffing tool like a chopstick.

STEP NINE

Once stuffed, secure the opening at the bottom with straight pins and stitch closed with your sewing machine. Make sure to backstitch where the stitching overlaps.

STEP TEN

To finish the Harry Potter Deathly Hallows Pillow, use tape to remove any Poly-Fil fuzz from the black Kunin Felt pillow.
