Take your plastic bag clutter and reuse it in a whole new way. Don't let those plastic bags go to waste or to the landfill. Give it a whole new life buy using them as a pillow insert. Yes I said it, a pillow insert. Here let me show you how I used it for mine.... the rest you will have to read on my blog.

Here is the finished product. Can you tell which one is a normal pillow and which one has plastic bags as a pillow insert?

First you are going to need a small pillow cushion cover that you would use for your couch pillows.

Mine cost 2.00 each at Dollarama and it is 40 x 40cm

It has a zipper, make sure yours does as well.

It is a lot more easier when the pillow cushion cover has a zipper. Now unzip it.

Gather all your plastic bags. This idea is great for decoration and not for sleeping. Also fantastic for the patio.

Suggested materials:
  • Plastic bags
