no sew

Yup! My own tutorial for this cute little, no sew, tie dye neck roll pillow. (ok, that was a mouthful!) Not that I don't like to sew - I do. But I needed something for my neck STAT, and since my sewing friend Lauren (see other amazing pillows above!) was not in town to hold my hand, desperate times call for desperate measures - or creativity, in my case!

I used a purple tie dye shirt that I rarely wear because I rarely like purple (sorry, Renee - I try). And left-over material from my ancient, de-commissioned pink tie dye shirt (moment of silence, please). I purchased a small neck roll pillow at JoAnne's (can I just tell you how much I hate that place?) on sale for about $7 - it's approx. 6x14. Add sharp cutting shears - and that's literally all you need! 

 First I cut the sleeves off just on the inside of the seams. Then placing the pillow in the top center of the shirt, I just rolled the shirt over the pillow and continued on down to the hem, making sure everything was smooth and tight the entire way down. 

Then I tied a strip of pink tie dye fabric to each side of the pillow - pigtail style - where the extra purple fabric remained. Almost like wrapping a present - again, making sure everything was nice and tight. And that's it. DONE! Now you have a cute little neck roll pillow for when your head is going to explode and you need to lie down  you've got to escape the mayhem in your house and hide in your room for 10 minutes  your back feels totally shattered and you need to lay flat on the floor  you want another cute pillow to put on your bed! YAY! And remember: you can wash it and put it right back on! 

Awww, so CUTE! 

Alright, it can't compete with Lauren's... but that's okay :)

Don't forget to use one of the sleeves to make Luna a little scarf!
