Making a Dream Pillow with Dried Flowers
Dream Pillows are wonderful accessories if you are a fan of aromatherapy. Dried flowers combined with essential oils can make great dream pillows that give you a feel of super luxury. Now make your own dream pillows with our instructions and get sweet dreams every night!
To make this you will need:
· A cotton or silk fabric approximately 5” by 5” or larger
· Muslin bag for herbal inserts
· 5-7 drops of Essential oil (choose from yarrow, sandalwood, jasmine, geranium, basil, lavender, peppermint or rose)
· Dried flowers and herbs (dried rose petals, dried chamomile and dried lavender)
· 2 tsp orris root fixative
· Pillow stuffing
· Velcro strips
· Needle and thread
Cut your fabric into two pieces and sew them on the outsides together on the wrong side. Leave a side open.
Fill the muslin bag with the dried flowers and herbs, orris root and a few drops of the essential oil of your choice and tie with a string.
Place the muslin bag inside your pillow and lightly pack with stuffing. Leave some spaces for the air to circulate and release scents.
Add Velcro strips to the open end so that you can change the contents of the muslin bag when required or when you need to wash the pillow.
Insert pillow in a regular pillowcase, and your dream pillow is done.
