DIY How To Make Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 Pillow With Glue

You guys know I direct maintain never been able to principal my sewing machine. And non for lack of trying. (Okay, fine, I didn't endeavour real hard too pretty much gave upward at the start sign of difficulty.) But, since I know I'm non lone inwards this struggle, I decided to part how I brand most of my pillows...without a sewing machine. 

It's a beautiful thing.

A niggling piece ago, I came across some stuff gum called Unique Stitch too decided to give it a try, figuring nada could move worse than fumbling roughly amongst a bobbin for an hour.

And equally it turns out, this stuff is great. I've tried stuff gum before, but it never delivered too commonly left me wanting my $5 back. This stuff is different. It totally delivered. You tin fifty-fifty launder your pillow covers subsequently using this stuff on them, too it yet holds strong. It takes a niggling longer to dry out than some of the other stuff glues, but the destination lawsuit is much better. You tin uncovering Unique Stitch at most arts and crafts stores or online here (amazon affiliate link).

I ended upward making a bunch of dissimilar pillows, some for the invitee chamber I'll part adjacent week, too some for the living room. I'm pretty happy amongst how they turned out.

Cost me close $3 a pillow.

One meg dollars saved.

So, here's a quick pillow tutorial.

You ask fabric. I was able to teach 2 pillows out of 1 yard of fabric, too hence purchase accordingly.

You too ask pair of scissors too of course, the stuff glue.

To brand an envelope pillow, you lot ask to cutting three pieces of fabric. I cutting ane 20x20 inch slice too 2 20x15 inch pieces.

The 2 20x15 inch panels combine to brand the backside of the pillow, overlapping slightly inwards the center, amongst an opening inwards the middle (where the light-green arrows are) that the pillow goes into. 

Here's a diagram to present you lot how it works.

To gather your pillow, house the 2 20x15 panels on top of the 20x20, matching upward the numbers inwards the diagram. 
The dark arrows present you lot where to gum the stuff to attach the panels to ane another. 
I chose to run a strip of gum along the border on the 2 20x15 panels where the light-green arrows are too flexure the stuff over too hence that they await finished too and hence that I didn't direct maintain whatever raw edges of my stuff showing. Also, since you lot are assembling this pillow within out, lay the stuff amongst the impress facing inward.

When the pillow is assembled, the 2 20x15 panels destination upward where the pillow opens inwards the back, slightly overlapping.  This is what the dorsum of your pillow volition await like. 

(It functions only similar a criterion sham pillowcase, too you lot tin take it to launder it.)

Once you've glued your pillow encompass together, permit it to dry out overnight. Once it's dry, you lot tin plow your pillow encompass right-side-out too stuff your pillow inwards the opening. I similar to usage downwardly choice pillow inserts because they create total the covers out actually nicely.

And that's all in that place is to it!
