I knew I would find one of these tutorials sooner or later. Those dang Pillow Pets are just too darn cute to not be copied! We have 2 in our house – I’ve really wanted to make some myself, but I kinda have to admit that for less than $20 each, it would cost me more to make it than to buy it. But if you wanted to make one to match a room or in an animal that they don’t manufacture, then check out this really well done Pillow Pets tutorial with plenty of how-to pictures from the Twelve Crafts ‘Till Christmas blog.

Here’s another version of my friend Jen Goode’s “Bed Bugs”. Adorable!!

Wanna Buy it Anyway?
You can find the ‘original’ Pillow Pets on Amazon for under $20, or the “Cuddle Pet Pillow
” knock off for $8-$18!
(Love the irony of featuring the copycat knock-off on Copycat Crafts. Heh.)











Thank you so much for including my bed bugs… they were a lot of fun to make!
Wow! Thanks for showing off my pillow buddy . . . and especially alonside Jen’s bedbugs because I love her little bedbugs! How genius is she?!
