Tips for the 3D Bee Applique
The bee is a fully stuffed mini amigurumi sewn onto the pillow surface, not a flat applique, which gives this pillow its irresistible dimension. Attach it firmly along the body so it survives hugs. The sunflower pillow itself is two petal-edged circles joined around a plump center, with optional embroidered seeds in the middle.
A Garden You Can Hug
This sunflower pillow with a 3D bee is a charming accent for beds, reading chairs and garden-themed nurseries. It makes a wonderful gift for sunflower lovers and a cheerful touch in any room. Pillow crochet with dimensional details is a strong Pinterest performer in the home decor category.
