Pillow Chair from Old T-Shirts - CRAFT Video

I've had a stack of t-shirts and a closet full of upholstery foam just waiting for a large-scale project like this to come along. Tiffany Threadgould and I show you how to make a comfy beanbag-style pillow chair from old t-shirts in this week's CRAFT Video! http://blog.craftzine.com/archive/2010/03/pillow_chair_from_t-shirts_and.html

I'm having trouble finding filling for my beanbag, i've made the whole thing, but I can't find any couch cushions :( I tried finding recycled packing peanuts but no one will donate them, and they cost alot, what should i do? :(

@rayefirerobin If you know of a place that does custom upholstery, ask for their scrap foam!

[jackcamryn]

do you think packing peanuts would be to hard to use?

[makemagazine]

@jackcamryn They should work just fine, go for it!

i have tons of old metallica shirts that dont fit me anymore...

[colerulz123]

does you guys have like a 'how to' instructions that i can print out or write down?

[smallpersonbigpride]

are bigger or smaller cubes bettter??

[tirtunemdouq]

how large is the pillow chair in the end? radius?

[NephilemResNovae]

u could make liner out of fuzed plastic bags and a zipper...

[vutsag1]

If you rather would make 12 panels you should shange the angle from 60 degrees to 30 degrees because a circle always is 360 degrees and 60 times 6 is 360 and 30 times 12 is 360
