DESCRIPTION
The Star Marisa Pillow is a fun pillow to freshen up the décor around your home. Most of us have a variety of pillows scattered around the house. A different shape can break up the monotony of all those rectangular cushions on the sofa or bed. It will add a little fun to a kid’s room and the star is a significant symbol to display during religious holidays.

It can be further adorned with pom-poms or tassels on the points, or an embroidered cross on as I did. I gifted it to my granddaughter for her confirmation. She keeps her “prayer pillow” on her bed to remind her of the guiding light of her faith.
