Step 1
This article is about learning how to make emoji face with heart eyes. Place two pieces of yellow felt on one another. Get a circular plate or something circular in shape and place it on the felt. Trace around the plate or the circular object using a pencil to make a shape on the top felt piece. To make the pencil markings visible, push hard using the pencil. Take care that you make no mistakes.

Step 2
Cut the shapes out taking care that you cut exactly the same circles as you traced. This would make the pillow better. Use hot glue gun or sew the circles together leaving a tiny gap. This gap should be sufficient to fit the hand inside.

Step 3
Insert the hand through the small gap to turn it inside out. Stuff the pillow with the use of toy stuffing or polyester. Sew the tiny space or use hot glue gun after stuffing the pillow.

1. Read the Care Instructions First
While some pillows can be readily washed with water, others require special care, especially if they are made from wool, suede or leather. Some pillows need to be cleaned by professional dry cleaners. In case, you find no tags, you should do a spot test. Blot a little cleaning solution on a small part of the pillow using a cotton ball and let the spot dry. If you find color fading or bleeding or water rings, it means you should not use water cleaner.

2. Use the Right Cleaning Detergent
In order to clean the emoji pillow with wet cleaner, you can consider mixing detergent, shampoo, water and mild soap. This solution can be applied in circular motion using a damp sponge. See that you reach the crevices and piping of the pillow. Remove the excess moisture using a clean cloth and let the pillow dry. A vacuum cleaner can be used to clean the emoji pillows that can’t be wet cleaned. Crevice attachments and upholstery brush clean the pillow well.
