Instructions

How to Make the DIY No Sew Dishtowel Pillow

1. First thing, take the dishtowel and iron it completely. Then fold it in half as perfectly as possible. After that, make sure you iron the crease well.

2. Open up the dishtowel. Using the glue gun on high heat, glue the three sides as pictured above. You will leave the top unglued for now to be able to put in the filling. Gluing across the bottom helps form a nice looking crease on that side when it’s done.

3. Fold it back in half carefully, and press down around the edges.

4. Give the glue a minute to dry, then fill the pillow as much as desired. While doing that, just make sure to leave room to be able to seal it closed.

The DIY no sew dish towel pillow is all finished!

5. Now that the pillow is filled, add a line of glue across the inner top. After that, press the edges together to seal the pillow. Then you are done!
