AGH....I have bags and bags of yarn scraps!! What do I do with all of this left-over yarn making clutter in my house?? I feel horrible throwing it away, so I wanted to think of an alternative way for me to recycle my yarn scraps. Well, here is one idea!
From yarn scraps to cool pillows.
I wanted to make some chevron pillows for my very old and ugly couches. I mean, why buy new couches when you have little kids, right? What is the point? So, I thought maybe some updated pillows would liven them up.
Here is what I did:
One of my many yarn scrap piles....
 |
| 1. Gather your left over yarn - I have mostly cotton and acrylic. This is approximately the handful size you want while stuffing your pillows. |
 |
| 2. And some poly-fil |
 |
| 3. Grab your handmade pillow case. Bought the fabric from Sew Fine Fabric on Etsy Here |
 |
| 4. Time to stuff....work one big handful of yarn scraps and then one big handful of poly. Keep stuffing till your pillows are nice and firm. |
 |
| 5. Sew them up nice and tight and there you go |
 |
| 6. I love my new pillows but the couch has GOT TO GO! |
 |
| I even used some of the extra fabric to make a cool tag for my hungry caterpillar set!
God Bless,
Jenny
