Personalized Blue Jean Neck Pillow

• Easy no sew neck pillow that teens will love to make.

This personalized teen craft is made from an old pair of blue jeans. The shape and size fits perfectly into the back of your neck, very comfortable. You'll need:

• Recycled blue jeans; one leg
• Gross grain ribbon; 4 10-inch pieces
• Scissors
• Stuffing
• Fabric puff paint

Paint the name or message.

Using the fabric puff paint, write a nickname or little message; paint a couple of hearts or stars or any simple symbol on one side of the blue jeans. Allow to fully dry. Be sure to use fabric paint and don’t be tempted to use any other. This pillow will need to be washed and other paints not only come off fabrics in the washer, they can damage other items washed immediately after. Want to guess how I know?

Tie the end of the pillow.

Tie a ribbon to the end of the leg in a square knot. Repeat with a second ribbon. Allow the ends of the ribbon to dangle

Stuff the pillow.

Stuff the blue jean pillow until it is to the desired firmness. Tie off the end like you did on the first end.

Fringe the ends to finish off.

Using scissors fringe the ends of the blue jeans, just up to the ribbon.  Or use pinking shears to make a neat edge. If you are really ambitious you can sew the ends of the pillow shut. Fold the ribbons in half and sew the folds of two ribbons on to each end and let them trail. Enjoy
