If you’ve been having trouble getting to sleep, want a more peaceful night or even have a headache then this eye pillow can help you relax and drift off into slumberland.
What you need:
- Dried lavender (you can get this from online shops if you can’t find any locally)
- 1 1/2 cups of wheat grain (you can get this from health food shops)
- Silk fabric (or any soft fabric will do)
What to do:
- Take the silk and cut out a rectangle 25 cm by 50cm
- Fold in half so that the outside of the fabric is showing. then sewing on the wrong side of the fabric.
- Sew into a tube.
- Sew one end closed and turn right side out.
- Fill the bag with wheat and add a handful of lavender.
- Sew the end closed with a needle and thread.
This pillow can be chilled in the fridge or heated in the microwave depending on your mood (please be careful if you decide to heat it!!). You can use uncooked rice or flaxseeds instead of wheat but I don’t know how well they would stand up to being microwaved (I don’t own a microwave to try!).
