Taking inspiration from snacks seen at sport arenas and carnivals are these mini pretzel cushion designs by Little Inspiration that creatively recreate the crispy biscuit using colorful fabrics and minimal sewing. The food-inspired pillows are a great way for consumers to express their love for their favorite salty snacks in a guilt-free way.
The homemade pillows are created using a dowel rod that captures the curved and twisted shape of the pretzel. The rod is covered in scrap fabric for cushioning and then further wrapped in dark brown material and white tiny squares to replicate the crispy dough and salt rocks. While this is a plush pillow, the stuffed pretzel can be used as decoration around the home or recreated using different colors to capture a variety of flavors.
