Instructions
-
Place the bandanas on top of each other wrong side facing inwards, fold the bandanas in half and cut out a half heart shape.
-
Fold the hearts open keeping the two bandanas on top of each other. Use pinking shears to cut a fringe around the heart shaped bandanas. The fringe pieces should be at least 6.5 cm long and 2.5 cm wide.
-
Fold the fringe over and make a small slit on the fold. You’ll use the slit to “weave” the edges of the pillow, so the smaller the better.
-
Turn the the fringe strips up and squish them into a little sausage and then pull them down, through the slit.
-
Tug gently to tighten. Continue weaving the fringe and periodically flip your heart over to make sure you haven’t missed any lonely little fringe pieces
-
Leave the last five fringe pieces, stuff the heart and then finish off the pillow by weaving the last few pieces.
