Stitchtagram is the brainchild of Rachel and Doug Pfeffer, two particularly creative siblings. This ingenious company lets you make Instagram photos into plush, super-cool pillows. Just choose your images—from cute to artistic—and with these custom vouchers, Stitchtagram prints your very own graphic throw pillow!
The belief that the web is not enough for your photos caused us to start this project. We wanted our Instagram photos out in the real world, on something tangible. These pillows will last longer than your phone and they’re more comfortable to nap on.
Stitchtagram usually takes about 3 weeks to put your pillow together and get it in the mail.
