Not Your Granny's Throw Pillow

Why are throw pillows so expensive? 
Seriously, though you go out to buy some throw pillows and if you need more than say, one you can spend almost $100 in pillows! 
No thanks. 

The other day I was at the thrift store and saw this shirt. Im sure some nice Granny wore it at one point but I had other plans. 



Heres what you do: 

I cut out a rectangle to the size I wanted ( using mostly the middle of the shirt). Cut through both layers- duh. 



Turn inside out and sew up the sides. Unbutton the front and turn right side out. 

Stuff or insert pillow form and button up. 

Thats it! 





Now you have a cute throw pillow for a couch or bedroom for $1. 
( Not including whatever you use for fill- I used filling from another pillow I already had) 

Now on to make another 7 or so.

  2. That looks awesome! I also agree that throw pillows in the shops are way overpriced! Your homemade pillow has style. Love the texture too. :)
