    This personalized pillow is a great alternative to bridal gifts of lingerie or cookware.

    According to DIY Crafts host Debbie Stapley, this monogrammed pillow makes a great bridal-shower gift. Stapley suggests coordinating the pillow to the happy couple's decor and monogramming with their initials.

    Materials:

    Pillow
    Fabric
    Trim
    Sewing machine
    Pillow
    Monogram stamp
    Decorative stamps
    Fabric ink

    1. Before beginning, practice stamping on fabric scraps to determine placement.

    2. Cut 2 pieces of fabric slightly larger than dimensions of pillow.

    3. Stamp fabric with monogram stamp as desired.

    4. With right sides of fabric facing, sew fabric together (along with trim), closing 3 sides.

    5. Turn pillow casing right side out and stuff pillow inside.

    6. Sew opening closed and cover hem with trim.
