Directions How To Make A Hankie Dream Pillow
- Mix the lavender, rose petals and chamomile in a bowl. The amount of each ingredient may be tailored to your individual tastes. We have found that even parts of each ingredient works best.
- Fill the small canvas bag with this mixture and seal the bag closed
- Iron the handkerchief flat with the good side facing down (Figure 1)
- Center the canvas bag containing the herbs on the handkerchief
- Fold the 2 side corners of the handkerchief over the canvas bag (Figure 2 + 3)
- Fold the bottom corner of the handkerchief over the canvas bag (Figure 4)
- With the needle and thread, apply a running stitch along where the lower fold of the handkerchief meets the 2 side folds to form a pocket. In the picture above, the stitches have been applied through the lace.
- Apply a small square of adhesive-backed Velcro and apply to the tip of the envelope flap. (Figure 5)
- Apply a corresponding Velcro square to the pillow beneath the flap.
- Finally, fold the top corner of the handkerchief over the canvas bag to form an envelope flap (Figure 6)
- Optionally, you can glue a matching button near the tip of the envelope
- Tuck the dream pillow inside or underneath a bed pillow.
