Sand Dollar Pillow

I loved this pillow and thought it would look great in a coastal or beachy casual living room.  There are several motifs but I really liked the sand dollar.  No way I am paying $40-$74 for a decorative pillow no matter HOW cute I think it is.  Here is the inspiration from wabisabigreen.com:

There is a blue one as well, but I rather like the muted sand tone of this one.  The write of craftsandsutch.com came up with this no sew, diy option.  I love this and it would work with any motif:

Pennies on the dollar and it looks terrific.
