How to Make a Lavender Eye Pillow
They’re simple to make, require just a few ingredients, and make thoughtful gifts too. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you make your own.
Ingredients
- 1 cup dried lavender flowers
- 1 cup uncooked rice
- 8 drops lavender essential oil
- Approximately ¼ yard of fabric I used scrap fabric, but any soft cotton or linen will work well
- Fabric Scissors
- Sewing Machine or needle and thread
Instructions
- Cut two fabric pieces, each measuring 4.5 inches by 10.5 inches.
- Place the pieces together with the right sides facing out. Sew along one long edge, then continue sewing around the remaining sides with a ¼-inch seam allowance, leaving a small opening on one short end.
- In a bowl, mix the lavender flowers, rice, and essential oil. You can substitute flax seeds for rice if you prefer a different texture.
- Fill the fabric pouch with the mixture until it’s mostly full, using a funnel if needed.
- Sew the open end closed to finish the pillow.
