Instructions

Step One

Shopping

To keep with the crisp clean feel of spa use white towels however, any color will look great.

We purchased our towels from the Bed, Bath and Beyond clearance section. The 4 hand towels and 4 embroidery fingertip towels cost $12.

Larger towels can also be used to make either style pillow.

 

Step Two

Fingertip Towel Pillows

Cut tags off. Fold fingertip towel in half to form a 11”x 9” rectangle.

Place straight pins around the towel to hold fold in place. Pin slightly above the terry nap portion of the towel.

Note: Towels finished edges will be on the outer edge.

   

Step Three

Stitch the area between of the terry nap and finished edge.

Machine stitch towel together. Leave a 3” opening so Poly-Fil® Mini Micro Beads Filler can be added. We put our 3” opening in the center of the right side.

Knot and cut threads off. Open hole for filling.

  

 

Step Four

Open the spout on the Poly-Fil® Mini Micro Beads Filler bag. Set spout inside opening and pour in Mini Filler. Fill pillow ¾ full. Remove spout.

Machine stitch opening closed. Knot and cut off threads.

Pillow is now finished. Repeat above process for all additional pillows needed.

  

 

Step Five

Hand Towel Pillows

Cut tags off. Lay one hand towel on top of another, finished edge facing out (folded hem side facing inside).

Place straight pins around the towels to hold together. Pin slightly above the terry nap portion of the towel. Stitch the area between of the terry nap and finished edge.

Note: Towels finished edges will be on the outer edge of the pillow.

 

 

Step Six

Stitch towels together. Leave a 3” opening so Poly-Fil® Mini Micro beads Filler can be added. We put our 3” opening in the center of the right side.

Knot and cut threads off.  Open hole for filling.

Open the spout on the Poly-Fil® Mini Micro Beads Filler bag. Set spout inside opening and pour in Micro Beads Filler. Fill pillow ¾ full and remove.

Machine stitch opening closed. Knot and cut off threads.

    

 

Step Seven

Pillow is now finished. Repeat above process for all additional pillows needed.
