My friend and I are big Parks and Recreation fans, so for Christmas this year I wanted to make a gift that represented one of our favorite things. What I came up with were these bright pillows that display one of Parks and Rec’s most famous quotes, “Treat Yo Self.” I also put a slice of pizza on the pillow, which shows off my favorite way to treat myself- something my friend and I also have in common.
This craft follows very closely to a project I made last summer. The directions are pretty much exactly the same, but instead of cutting out really easy triangles, I took the time to cut out letters and a few more complicated shapes.
To do this, I used a Sharpie and free-hand drew the letters on the felt I was using. If you don’t want to chance doing free-hand letters, you could draw them out on paper, cut them out, and use pins to attach the paper cut-outs to the felt. Then, cut around the paper. For the other shapes, like the hearts or circle shapes on the pizza, I folded the felt in half and cut so each side was the same size once I unfolded.
I thought this post was perfect to post today, since Parks and Recreation’s final season begins tomorrow! I’m not ready to say goodbye to Leslie Knope and company, but I can’t wait to see Pawnee one more time.
