Hot Air Balloon Pillow

 I made this today to go in the new nursery I'm working on.  The hot air balloon is felt, the "ropes" are yarn, and the base of the pillow is just a basic cotton fabric.  Easy peasy!  

(Except don't do what I did and hot glue the balloon together because your machine needle will have a really hard time going through the hot glue.  At least if you have my machine--what a headache!!  Just pin the chevron stripes on, and remove the pins as you go...like a normal person.) :)
