Christmas cushions are such an easy way to make the lounge feel festive, but buying a whole new collection each December can soon add up. This clever Christmas placemat cushion idea gives those cheerful table linens another purpose—and that lovely Santa design deserves somewhere comfortable to spend the holidays.
I love browsing the seasonal placemats for prints that would look just as good on an armchair as they do beneath a dinner plate. Think traditional Santas, snowy cottages, tartan or a simple Christmas tree. Choose fabric placemats with a little flexibility so your finished cushion feels comfortable rather than stiff.
This project was shared by Celina Muse, and it’s a lovely example of how a simple change can turn an inexpensive find into something special for your home.
For this Christmas craft project, you will need two placemats to create this adorable lounge cushion. You will either need a sewing machine or some glue to complete this cushion. If you are glueing your cushion closed you will need some clothes pegs to keep the seems pressed firmly whilst the glue dries.
You can purchase a cushion insert or use scrap fabric to stuff the cushion. If you are only using it for Christmas time you could use a rolled-up towel, lap blanket or even stuffed paper that you could later remove.
Such an easy inexpensive project that they make for great classroom activities for Christmas or gift them for all the teachers, neighbours.

I made Thanksgiving cushions this way, then just changed the covers and used the same ones for Christmas.
