Is the pillow going to feel weird or lumpy if I use t-shirt strips as the stuffing?

[RubyChopsticks]

@yawenalice I'm actually not sure, you'll definitely need A LOT of strips though for it to fill out enough, unless you're making a small pillow.

I did this to an old t-shirt that I didn't want to get rid of (it's pretty sentimental to me) but it didn't fit me anymore. I added a bit of flair to mine, though. I tied the bottom half of the pillow, and then sewed buttons onto the front of the shirt (The theme is "Jaden's Jewels" so I had to have a bit of shimmer!) I used black, sparkly white and gold buttons but instead of using thread that matched the buttons or the shirt (hot pink) I used Lime Green, Yellow and a pretty Blue that I found.

When I made ths pillow, the ties came undone and it compleatly fell apart... Any way to prevent this from happening again?

[RubyChopsticks]

@foshomoe121 if you didn't double knot them you can try that first. if that doesn't work you can opt for some fabric glue or you can sew them if all else fails, though I don't think you'll have to resort to sewing if you don't want to.

You sound a bit like Selena gomez in some parts of this video=)

[emmamcdougall12]

That is so cool! :)

hey just an idea for anyone who is wondering: you can double knot all the ties on 3 sides, but leave one side single knotted so you only have to untie on side to take out the pillow and wash the cover! smarticle particle

@flytye824 The words were too high on the t-shirt for it to be in the center...

[flytye824]

good idea but the "think greek" should've been centered
