Beaded Tree Striped Mini Pillow

Green and cream ticking stripe runs the width of this mini pillow, and a beaded tree stands at the center, outlined in white seed beads with round gold beads scattered through it like ornaments. The stripe keeps it from reading as a novelty, so it can sit on an entry bench or a chair by the fire from the first cold week straight through January. Canvas backing holds the shape and a polyester fill gives it a soft, even weight. It measures 8 inches square. Mud Pie made the mini size for people who already own plenty of pillows, which is exactly why it works for the friend who is hard to buy for.
