Description

Got a couple of old t shirts lying around? Follow these easy instructions to make super adorable mini cushions for decoration, gifts or use as pin cushions.

Instructions

  1. Small 2014 02 27 132608 dsc 1523

    Using a utility knife, cut out your desired pattern onto freezer paper, waxed side up. Tape this to your t shirt sleeve. Be sure to insert a piece of cardboard between the two layers of the sleeve to prevent bleeding.

  2. Small 2014 02 27 132648 dsc 1536

    Paint directly onto one side of sleeve with the color of your choice! Let dry.

  3. Small 2014 02 27 132751 dsc 1549

    Turn sleeve inside out and do a simple running stitch through both layers. STOP when you're about 75% through, use a pair of scissors and cut just outside the stitches.

    Turn sleeve out and stuff with wool. Finish up the stitch and voila!
