Homemade Sit-On Pillow

What you need:

-          Two large bandannas

-          Needle and thread

-          Dry leaves

What you do:

Put the two bandannas together and sew around the edges, leaving about a four inch opening in one side. Stuff your pillow with dry leaves. Leave the opening so that you can remove leaves when you want to wash your pillow and replace it with new leaves.

Now you have a pillow that folds up easily for carrying but makes a comfortable seat around the campfire!

    Hi!!!! This is like a sit upon the things i made in girl scouts!! Here is a different way to do them: Use what ever color of ductape you want (they now have awesome patterned ones now!!) and tape 3 sides of a garbage bag that is cut into two squares together. (ya know?? like the way you sew things together) Fill the pocket with stuffing or cotton balls. Use more ductape and seal the last end shut! Hope you like it!! xOXOXOXOX

    cool! they need to make a rainbow dash bandana. I’d totally make this then, but I’d also use cotton balls or something fluffy!

    Using dry leaves will just crumble and lose the padding…better off with stuffing like cotton, straw, hay, dried grass..but not dried leaves.

    That is creative. If you wanted you could probably use cotton balls.

      It’s cute but why dry leaves? It should be cotton stuffing because it would be more comfortable.

        Cool craft! I like the pillow. *Luv From LillyLuvie* :mrgreen:

        They made it with dry leaves because: Do you really expect them to carry along a bag of cotton stuffing to camp? I wouldn’t. Dry leaves are pretty much all you could use unless you were willing to rip up a shirt for stuffing. -Moonstar§§§

      It is cute! And sounds super easy too! BTW, i would use matching bandanas or it would look weird, but it’s a cute idea though! And FireWolves, can you add me? Sorry if i’m being nosy or anything…. ♫Starlight♫

      Oh my gosh! That’s so creative! I have to do that! Ooh! You know what would be a good idea!?! You should go to like Joans or some craft store and get bandanas that match your room color! Or your bed color or something! You could decorate your whole house with pillows! Except… I would want to put soft stuffing in it like cotton. And I would just use my moms sewing machine to sew the bandanas together LOL. It would be much faster. :)
