Years ago I made each family pillow/toppers. I bought a "travel pillow" from walmart - approx. 14 x 20 - or you could make your own any size or buy a regular pillow form. I wanted a "softer" pillow so that the family could use them on a couch, etc. Then I made little pillowcases - one for each season - Christmas fabric, snowflakes for winter use, Easter for the Easter holiday, Valentines fabric for February, Shamrocks for March, Patriotic for 4th of July, Halloween fabric, Thanksgiving fabric, etc. Whatever fabric that I had. At first I made the pillowcases with very deep hems and then put on two buttons/buttonholes to fasten them on. But, later, just skipped the buttons. That way, they could change pillowcases to match the season. They were a great hit!
