Being an avid fan of the squishy pillow, I think it is important that my sleep mate is clear that he should keep his mitts off my favorite slumber inducer. To avoid the pillowfight debate over whose down-filled pillow is whose, these DIY stenciled pillows are just the cure!

Apartment Therapy shows you how to customize your pillows to make them a reflection of you and to make sure your loved one doesn’t try to pass off your preferable pillow as his.
