How to Make Flaxseed Pillows
- 1). Cut a piece of silk fabric 6 inches wide by 18 inches long–you will be creating a pillow about 3 by 9 inches.
- 2). Fold the fabric in half lengthwise, lining up the edges.
- 3). Sew around the perimeter of the folded rectangle, leaving a 2-inch seam area open.
- 4). Turn the rectangle inside out by stuffing the fabric through the unsewn opening. Use a pencil, letter opener or skewer to make the corners nice and crisp.
- 5). Insert a small funnel into the opening of the rectangle.
- 6). Pour 2 cups of flaxseeds through the funnel and into the pillow. Avoid over stuffing the pillow. You can purchase flaxseeds from any natural foods market or online merchant.
- 7). Pour 1/4 cup dried lavender buds through the funnel and into the pillow. This will add a relaxing scent to the pillow.
- 8). Remove the funnel. Fold in the edges of the opening, and sew it closed.
- 9). Place the flaxseed pillow over your eyes for relaxation.
