Step by step how to turn old towels into cushions
- Measure and cut out the sizes of the cushions according to your taste.
- Place the two pieces of towel on top of each other, right side up, pin them together with pins to stop them moving when sewing and leave one side open.
- Stuff the pillow filling through the opening of the cover until it is the shape you like.
- Sew a zipper into the opening to prevent the filling from slipping out.
- Another option is to close the opening with small, strong seams.
