Yes, it is a pillow as my little sweetie LOVES a pillow. She either keeps her head resting on the pillow ot the arm in the front. She just feels so much more secure in it that I have no doubt that she will use it.. (still on it ever since I finished it.)

The cloth is attached with a staple gun and the skirt is pleated, also done with the stapler. Screws for the parts to hold them together, stapler for the padding and fabric. IT IS EASY and I bet you could do it!!! I did this one start to finish in about 2 hours, would have been done sooner but I kept changing my mind on the fabric I wanted to use.
