This is a very easy way to make a pillow. Thank u very much.

I was worrying about where to get straw, and then I realized that for reasons of meadows being better than lawns, my backyard is filled with very long grass right now! Perfect happenstance. I think I may make my pillow smaller, as I don't really have a use for that much width. Now all I need to do is go buy some fabric scraps and get started!

[@4mysonable1]

Thanks, your method is very simple and easy to make.

[@frannyfrandsen]

I have seen sawdust and sand used I have used in the past an air filter for semi trucks used. I have used ethofoam and you are right I do not care for the light weight of it. Thanks for watching and commenting on my video

When somebody really wants to make bobbin lace and don't have enough money this is the option.

[@LWinebarga]

Well I have made the flat pillows and now for this one. lol Best for last? thanks again. I am taking it that the cardboard disks should be 5" also? Hope so. Thanks again

[@LWinebarga]

Thank you very much. Very helpful.

[@neilstephen6761]

What is the diameter of the card? Thank you for the video

[@susansuits8001]

Thank you, sir.

Thoughts on alternatives to straw? My husband has allergies and I'm allergic to the work of cutting the straw into little pieces. I've seen bolsters made from layers of fabric and I have read of stuffing them with sawdust. Does anyone have any thoughts?

[@mountainsidelife6654]

I have seen one stuffed with wool roving instead, very very tightly.

[@MaryVivit]

Thank you!

[@WarisitaBoricua]

Thank you.

[@Elementfifth]

thanks

[@LittleAnthroKitten18]

I have an allergy to straw and hay, what are the alternatives to this?

[@helenalford2831]

i have read that you can use wool scraps, this apparently works as well. Straw is traditional.

[@yvonneboots-faubert6802]

I had seen another tutorial awhile ago for using sawdust (wood shavings) to make your lacemaking pillows. I had a carpenter friend collect some for me, but now I cannot find the tutorial again, lol!

[@CocoaHerBeansness]

Heather would probably work well, it's traditional for mattresses in Scotland

[@susansuits8001]

I wonder how paper that has been run through a shredder would work for stuffing?

[@Marny5580]

Better ask the manufacturer!! If yes, then make sure you are going to oil those blades every so often ... but then it could get on the straw. Hmmmm. I would take it all outside - the straw, I mean.

[@MrVegita2]

This sucks. R u crazy pple? Might as well just stuff a sock with straws n call it a bolster pillow.

[@dianorasca]

Thank you!
