It was super easy and tons of fun! We got lots of interesting shapes! Near the end I finally started to perfect the way they should be rolled out and folded. Everyone thinks they taste really good.

Joann's had their outdoor canvas on sale for 50% off, so who could pass up that offer? I did though, accidentally buy the wrong size pillows for the inside so one is smaller than the other. They were really quick and super easy to make.
