Materials List
- Astro turf
- Staple gun with appropriate-sized staples
- Scissors
- Flat head screwdriver
- Hammer
- Plastic grocery bags
- Faux flowers, optional
Instructions
-
Lay the astro turf out, folding one end over so the turf sides are facing. Determine how large you want the pillow to be and cut the turf with scissors.
-
Begin to staple one side of the pillow. You need to do this on a cardboard box.
-
After stapling one side, gently pull the turf out from the cardboard box and turn it over so the staples are facing you.
-
Use the screwdriver to fold the staples down. Moving the turf to a hard surface, hammer the staples flat.
-
Repeat for the second side.
-
Once all sides are securely stapled, begin to turn down the pillow so the right sides are facing out.
-
Since this is an outdoor pillow, I opted to stuff mine with plastic bags. I stuffed it about halfway before adding the flower stems, if desired.
-
Determine where you want to place your flowers and poke a small hole through the turf with the end of the scissors. Thread the flower stem through and twist (or cut) the stems so they fit within pillow.
-
Finish stuffing pillow with plastic bags.
-
Fold over the raw ends of the turf and staple shut, following the above process using a screwdriver and hammer.
