I've always wanted one of those soft panda pillows cause they're super cute, but they're so expensive. So I made one myself out of an old white t-shirt and an old black t-shirt.

You Will Need (4 things)

  • 1 White T Shirt
  • 1 1 Black T Shirt
  • Sewing Machine Or Needle And Thread
  • Polyester Stuffing

Steps (7 steps, 45 minutes)

  1. 1

    Cut off the top of your white t-shirt right under the sleeves. You'll be left with the bottom of the t-shirt.

  2. 2

    Cut off the side seams of what's left of the t-shirt. You should have two white squares.

  3. 3

    Cut the two white squares into oval shapes for the panda's face. Put those pieces aside.

  4. 4

    Take your black t-shirt and cut out two identical potato-like shapes for the eyes. Cut out two crescent shapes in the middles for the whites of the panda's eyes. Sew the new shapes onto one circle from your white t-shirt.

  5. 5

    Cut out a heart shape from the black t-shirt for the panda's nose. Sew it onto the same white circle from the previous step.

  6. 6

    Your panda should now have a face. Place the two white circle pieces together, right side facing each other. Sew the pieces together, leaving about three inches of opening--you'll need the opening to flip everything right side out.

  7. 7

    Once you've flipped everything right side out, fill with polyester stuffing until the pillow is as firm or soft as you want. Sew the opening.
