You Will Need

  • How to make a recycled cushion. T Shirt Pillow - Step 1
    Step 1

    Cut a square out of both layers of your shirt, with image centered. Mine was an 18"X15" rectangle.

    Step 2

    Pin the two squares together along the edge with right sides facing and sew together, leaving an opening just large enough for your hand to fit through.

    Step 4
