Budget Tip of the Day: Sweater Pillows
Instead of throwing out or giving away a sweater you no longer wear, put it to good use and turn it into a cozy pillow. These are perfect for snuggling up to and for adding another layer of texture to your space. Big name stores charge a lot for these pillows, but you can shop in your closet and make it for free. The front and back of the sweater should give you enough to cover your pillow. Just measure and cut 2 pieces, leaving an extra inch for the seams. Turn the tops over so they are facing each other and then sew around all 4 sides, leaving just enough room to stuff your insert in. Hand stitch the opening and you’re done. Who knew you had a free pillow in your closet?! Don’t have a sweater you’re willing to part with? Pick one up at a thrift store for a few dollars instead.
Come back tomorrow for another “best of” tip.
oh wow, that top pillow is gorgeous! I always love the look of those sweaters, but feel like they add too much thickness to me to look good.
a pillow is a better option!
