Darling Clementine Pillows and Prints

Greenista Girl Shivani

Want to add a little cutesy to your baby’s room without going overboard? Grab some Darling Clementine pillows ($36) and prints ($46). They are adorable enough for babies to tots and can even grace your home, not just the nursery, when baby is old enough. The pillows come in cool shades like coral, navy, yellow, brown, and ice blue … no over-the-top pastels here. Pick from a cat, elephant, fox, or panda in a cushy pillow or wood block print. Did we mention they are eco too? The prints are made on plywood from sustainable harvested sources and the pillows have a 100% organic cotton shell.

Although the sustainable forestry definition is vague, sustainable wood basically means that the trees and land where taken care of in such a manner that the forest will thrive for years from come. They only take what they need and leave the rest undisturbed.

Pillow Talk: DIY Cushion

Brianne

Looking for a way to add some new décor on the cheap? Search your pad for old tea towels, beach towels, blankets, shirts, and more with stylish patterns to make your own very unique pillow for your abode. After choosing the material for the project, sew three out of the four sides (with the material inside out). Turn the material inside out once more and stuff with the softest material you can find – like an old down blanket or you can buy batting from the craft store. Sew up the final side and your pillow is ready for cuddling. Feeling uber-creative? Add cutouts, buttons, or appliqués for a more special look.

You throw away 67.9 pounds of used clothing and rags each year, if you're like the typical American. Collectively, Americans discard two quadrillion pounds (that's a two with fifteen zeroes) of used clothing and textiles into the landfills each year. By using old clothing, towels, and blankets you’ll avoid tossing more into landfills.

Turn Old Tees into Rocker Pillows

Greenista Girl Neha

We think every Greenista is looking for ways to find new uses for old clothes. We were left with a ton of ill-fitting concert t-shirts that we couldn’t bear to part with. So, we put on our DIY hats and made those old tee’s  into edgy throw pillows for our living room.

We used these simple instructions from All Free Crafts. Remember that you can hand-stitch the pillows if you don’t have a sewing machine (or know how to operate one). You can also use a variety of fabrics and colors: try quilting different fabric, experimenting with shapes, adding interesting buttons and trims…anything to give your pillows a unique touch.
