Upcycled Sinus Pillow

Upcycled Lavender Sinus Pillow

Tis' the season for allergies & sinus infections!

My husband & oldest son suffer the worst in our house....SO...

I made a Sinus Pillow out of T-shirt scraps from a previous project and various other supplies I had around the house.  FREE...is a very good price :)

Supplies I used:

Sleeve of a T-shirt

Needle and Embroidery Thread

White Rice

Dried Lavender

Lavender Essential Oil

Scissors

So I cut off the arm of the T-shirt scrap I had left.  Two sides were already sewn so I turned it inside out and sewed one side shut, and then the other side I sewed 3/4 shut so I could add the rice mixture.

I turned it right side out (is that how you say it lol?) and mixed 1 cup of uncooked white rice, some left over dried lavender from my sisters wedding, and two drops of Lavender Essential oil in a bowl.  I then used a funnel to pour the rice mixture into the pouch.

I sewed it up and popped it in the microwave for 20 sec....Oh the smell was heavenly!

Next step..the true test..see how the boy like's it.  I had him put it on his eyes and he gave it two thumbs up..even better, he had a friend over, he tried it too and said "that feels awesome!"

Kid tested...Mother approved

I give this project two thumbs up!  It was easy, free, and works great!

Remember that Recycled T-shirt Tote I made last week? Well I added some embellishments with left over T-shirt scraps.  Here's a pic...

I made Rosettes from the scrap T-shirt pieces, and made them into a flower...So cute!

Happy Crafting!
