This year more than ever I have been looking for ways to make personalized gifts for my family and friends for the holidays. I love making gifts with a meaning behind them and personalized gifts are so special.
I decided to make some cute personalized minimalist, Scandinavian Style Holiday Pillows using my Cricut Joy, to send as gifts to my family, sending some holiday cheer and love from me, to their home.
I used my Cricut Joy machine and some iron-on sheets for this DIY project. Full details and step by step instructions below.
DIY Personalized Minimalist Scandinavian Style Holiday Pillow Gift with Cricut
Materials
Instructions
1. Using the free Cricut Design app find the images you want to use for your holiday pillows. I chose a minimalist Christmas tree from the Cricut image library.
2. Select the right size and follow the instructions on the app to select the material (iron-on sheet). Don’t forget to choose Mirror Image before cutting.
3. Load your cutting mat with the iron-on sheet (shine side face down) and follow the prompts to cut your design.
4. Weed excess iron-on around the images.
5. Place your design (shiny side up), and the transfer paper on top, then use the iron or the EasyPress to apply your design to your pillow cover. ( Go to the heat guide here, input your materials and you’ll find the perfect temperature and method to affix your design) https://cricut.com/en_us/heatguide
6. Press down for 15 seconds on the front, 15-seconds on the back, and then let the design cool before peeling off the plastic.
7. Stuff you pillowcase.
YOU ARE DONE!
What do you think? Do you love modern, simple, Scandinavian style pillows as well? I think this turned out super cute, and it was so easy to make. After making this gift I ended up making an extra pillow for my home as well, perfect to add some simple holiday cheer to my living room decor.
I love how versatile the Cricut Joy is, and all the amazing projects I can make, including personalized gifts for friends and family this holiday season. So many project ideas.
If you end up making a pillow yourself, let me know how it turns out. Happy crafting, and gift-giving this year friends!

What a beautiful gift idea, these are just beautiful! The more you share your creations the more I love the idea of purchasing a cricut. It really isn’t just for cards anymore is it!
I am fairly new with Cricut machines and what they do. I’m pretty sure I would love one though. I absolutely love what you did with these pillows. Looks really nice.

That is an awesome pillow that you made, love the cricut, now since it is an iron on will they still be able to wash? wouldn’t want to make all these awesome gifts and then they can’t be cleaned
Lovely designs! You did a fantastic job!
I love it! What a great idea! I had no idea Cricut sold pillow cover. I could probably make my own, but I dislike sewing zipper. (I can do them) .
I love style of your house!
I’ve heard so many great things about what you can do with a Cricut. Now I really want one!
Hoping to get a cricut, so I can design some seasonal pillow covers!
This cushion is beautiful, I’m surprised at what you can do with a cricut maching.
Perhaps next Christmas, I can make some personalized pillow covers happen.
I never realized you can do things like this with Cricut! Wow, very nice! I’m crafty, but don’t have room, and need to downsize more, I’m really missing out. What a nice way to make personalized gifts, very special!! And this pillow looks great in the house!
Beautiful pillow. The Cricut is a great crafting tool!
adorable!
This print is awesome. I would love a pillow!
wow so fun that you are able to do that with a cricut!
Love this pillow.
Gorgeous holiday cushion and it suits your decor perfectly.
Angela, in this we are similar. I mean, I also love creative. And in general, I just like engaging content. For example, I can watch fishing bobber vector forever. The stock images on this platform are so creative that I now go here instead of YouTube. No wonder, because it is the fastest microstock agency in the world. Here I often take unusual ideas for my projects.
So pretty! I love festive pillows!
