Do you like to take road trips with your family? Does anyone ever complain about their neck hurting? I’m sure that you have seen those comfortable-looking neck pillows that are made for travel. If not, I should tell you that they can be a bit expensive for a pillow. Here is a way that you can provide some comfort without spending the extra money on the luxury.
Use the material from old clothing as the outside of the pillow. Sew the sides into the shape of a pillow, but be sure to leave a whole open to stuff the pillow. You can shape it to be a square, rectangle, or the U shape that neck pillows come in. You can also add a zipper, or use the zipper from the item of clothing you are using, so you can empty it for a wash in the machine.
You can use other pieces of old clothing, rice, collections of lint from the dryer, beans, or cotton balls to fill the pillows.
Once the pillow is stuffed to your liking, seal the opening.
That’s all there is to it. Be creative. It is a fun and easy project!
I was actually doing a search for bedroom pillows and came across your website and this article. This is really a great idea for a travel pillow and thought I’d add a comment. Whenever we take long trips it is hard to get comfortable. This is a creative way of making something from common items around your house that might help make the trip easier. Great post.
