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!

You Will Need (4 things)

  • Notions: Thread , Scissors, Pins, Sewing Machine
  • A Spaghetti Strap Dress
  • Polystyrene Balls
  • Marker

Steps (8 steps, 60 minutes)

  1. 1

    Take your dress and lay it flat on your working place or bed in my case.

  2. 2

    Cut the dress like shown in the photo.Dont cut your bedsheet along with it! ;)

  3. 3

    Remove the inner lining from the dress.We wont be needing it.

  4. 4

    Now you have two similar pieces of fabric.Right sides together and wrong side up place them on the bed and try to make them as flat as possible.

  5. 5

    Taking a pillow as a template, draw a rectangle ( as big as you want )on the fabric with a marker.Cut it out with an extra 2 inches for seam allowance.With right sides still together, sew the rectangle with a straight stitch, leaving about a 5-7 inch hole on one side.

  6. 6

    Turn it inside out from the hole and fill it with polystyrene balls(i used bean bag fillers) or fabric scrap and you have your own floor pillow or dog bed.

  7. 7

    Remember the upper part which we cut off? Turn it inside out.

  8. 8

    Im sorry if you cant see the stitch but sew the bottom and little triangles on both the sides and turn it inside out to get a super cute toilet paper holder.:D
