Making a fun pillow with your own hands is easier than it seems at first glance. It will take only a little skill, patience and source material. You can use this product yourself, or you can give it to a friend in honor of some holiday.
Materials
To make the pillow comfortable and pleasant, it is important to choose the right material for the bed and filler. It should be soft, gentle, not necessarily scratchy. For a breastplate, flannel, fleece, cotton knitwear, satin are best in this case. Synthetic fabrics are more wear-resistant, do not wrinkle, are easily erased. Less - they can become quite electrified. Natural material is more environmentally friendly, but it wrinkles easily, and a self-made cool pillow will quickly lose its original beautiful appearance.
For a decorative product, you can use such decorations as buttons, beads, beads, sequins. If you plan to use the pillow for its intended purpose and put it under your head, you should refuse solid, spiky decor items. In this case, use soft fabric appliqués and embroidery.
It is recommended to use holofiber or thick foam as a filler.
