Using ties these adorable, as well as functional, pillows are a great way to preserve the memory of a loved one. Each pillow is 16x16. It takes at least 6 ties and no more than 9 ties to make a pillow front. The backing is a solid piece of fabric to match the front ties. I do add a zipper so you can change the insert or dry clean the pillow cover if needed. When ordering more than one pillow and you have certain ties you want for each pillow either band them together or use small bags to separate them.
