Tank Top Pillows
Design & Instructions by Pattie Donham, Host of Craft Studios

Wake up those tired pillows with Tank Top Pillows! Add a few beads and a tassel, for some fun and funky accents to any room. 

Supplies:
Tank Top or Halter Top
Pillow (sized to fit the tank top)
Sewing Machine
Coordinating Thread
Scissors
Assorted Beads
22 gauge Wire
Needle
(option: Tassel & Buttons)


Steps:
1. Sew the bottom of the tank top closed, on the sewing machine.
2. Put the pillow into the tank top, with the bottom seams matching, and the straps over the top of the pillow. If you are using a halter top, sew the halter in place at the top of the pillow, adding a decorative button.
3. String beads onto wire, curling the ends of the wire to hold beads in place. Sew the beaded wire to the tank top along the neckline.
4. Add a button or tassel to the center of the neckline to complete.

Another fun idea is to save your kid’s t-shirts from events that they have participated in, and cover pillows with them. Simply sew up the bottom of the shirt after slipping it over a bed pillow, to create a memory pillow for their room!
