I've been raving cactus and succulents these past few months now and I keep on thinking of doing a room makeover and I want to make it a cactus and succulent theme. I'm not planning to do this in a hurry because I don't have the luxury of time. I still have a morning job and I need to do a lot of readings. Anyway, without further ado, here's how I repurpose my old shirt into a cactus throw pillow.
MATERIALS NEEDED:
- Scissors
- Old Tshirt
- Sewing kit
- Old or new pillow stuffings
- Fabric glue (optional)
- Bond Paper or any paper for your cactus template
- Marker
INSTRUCTIONS:
 |
| Draw a simple cactus shape using a long bond paper or newspaper. |
 |
| Place the template on the shirt and start marking the shape. |
 |
| Leave a few space when cutting the shape. |
 |
| If you have fabric glue, you may use it to make sewing easier but if you don't have, disregard this step and proceed to sew. |
 |
| You may use a green thread to add embroidered thorns for added effect. (optional) |
 |
| I use an old pillow stuffing I have instead of buying a new one and just sew everything. |
 |
Voila! This is the final product. I use an old T-shirt trimmings and sew a flower for aesthetics.
I did this DIY tutorial without spending a single dime. Everything is repurposed. I hope you love it guys! |
