This is not only a great quick and easy no-sew project for adults, but for children as well - even boys! Who doesn't like to tie knots? It's a perfect weekend project to do together!
Repurpose a favorite T-shirt or transform a tired old pillow you already have. Or purchase a pillow form at JoAnn Fabrics! Not only will a T-shirt work for this project, but fleece would be perfect as well.
If you do sew and have an embroidery machine, a large embroidered motif sewn on a new T-shirt or fleece would be beautiful, transformed into a beautiful pillow!
Why not teach your children how to make their own gifts? Either a T-shirt pillow or a plain or embroidered fleece pillow would make a great gift for teachers and friends when your children attend birthday!

Spring cleaning also means it’s time to clean out your old spring wardrobe, too! If you have a stack of old t-shirts that you’ve decided need to go, we encourage you to donate any and all clothes that you no longer want – but what about that t-shirt with the hole in the armpit or the tear at the collar? You can’t donate those! Don’t worry, you don’t necessarily have to throw those t-shirts away. With this fun, simple craft you can turn those t-shirts into adorable pillowcases in a snap! And guess what? You don’t even have to do any sewing. Magic. Watch the video below to see how you can accomplish this simple DIY.
If you’re a novice crafter and you’re a bit worried about sewing, this is a perfect DIY for you! You’re still upcycling the fabric and making it into something cute for your home, but with no need for a needle and thread. If the t-shirt you’re transforming doesn’t match your decor or if it’s a color or pattern you know a friend would like, this is such a thoughtful, customized gift for a housewarming or birthday!
Let’s break down the steps of this DIY:
STEP 1:
Place the pillow in the center of the t-shirt, where your middle section would be, and cut around the pillow. Make sure to leave a few inches of fabric on all sides.
STEP 2:
Cut frayed edges around the two pieces of cut fabric.
STEP 3:
Put one piece of t-shirt fabric under the pillow and one on top.
STEP 4:
Knot the frayed edges of the top and bottom fabrics all the way around.
And just like that, you have a fun, clean-looking pillow case to display in your home! And you did it all yourself, you crafty person, you!
