Today I decided to recover a few second life pillows I picked up this past week. I love giving items a new life and making them work with my home.
These pillows started out frayed, stained, and just looked tired and old! I used some old tee shirts and a scrap piece of cotton to give them a new look!

First, I cut the fabric to rough size.

Second, I used hot glue to “sew” the seams

Next, I cut pieces from tee shirt sleeves to make the sleeves (with a few dabs of hot glue to hold in place).

That’s all! Super fast and simple! In less than 30 minutes I had four new pillows! And all for under $10! That makes this Mama Bear happy!
