Beam Me Up Some Star Trek Felt Cushions

Hey Trekkie fans! Let me just squeeze the SQUEEEEEE out of you with these adorable Star Trek themed cushions. Thanks to Etsy shop owner FatSquirrelCraft, each of these little guys are hand made to order, she’s giving you all she’s got! So if you don’t see your favorite character in her shop, you can ask for it when you special order. I can’t decide which is my favorite, Lieutenant Commander Geordi La Forge, or Wesley Crusher from Next Generation. Whether you’re looking for classic, or new Star Trek characters, FatSquirrelCraft has them all. See some of our favorites after the break:
