REMEMBER THAT IT'S IMPORTANT TO ALWAYS WORK UNDER ADULT SUPERVISION. SOMETIMES WE USE THINGS THAT CAN BE HARMFUL, LIKE SCISSORS, SO DON'T EVER ATTEMPT TO MAKE THESE CRAFT PROJECTS ALONE.

1. Find an old t-shirt that has seen better days, and ask a parent if you can use it to make some comfy art! You can apply patches, or other items you find around the house. When you’ve figured out your design, glue or sew everything down.
2. Place a line of fabric glue on the inside seams of the bottom and arm openings of your t shirt. Press it down to dry. Be sure to leave the neck hole open so you can stuff the shirt when it’s dry. You can also sew your pillow if you don’t have fabric glue.
3. Glue feather trim around the bottom edge of your shirt. Give it about 30 minutes to dry.
4. To stuff your pillow, place cotton stuffing through the neck hole of the t shirt. Make it as full as possible so it stays fluffy.
5. Glue the neck hole down when your pillow is full, and use binder clips to secure the seam while it dries for another half hour.
6. Glue another piece of trim to the neckline. You can also make a fun pocket pillow with an old pair of shorts! Just glue the legs closed first, leaving the waist of the shorts open for stuffing.
