A simple diy for a floor pillow :)
This is my first how-to so please excuse me if I go wrong anywhere.

So, I had this spaghetti dress lying around which I never wore and I saw this tutorial on some site( I dont remember :( ) about a Diy Floor Pillow and decided to make it.The upper part turned out to be an easy Toilet paper holder.Enjoy!
