Are you feeling a little crafty and looking for a simple project that you can use every day? Here is our favorite easy project for a DIY Relax Eye Pillow infused with lavender and Relax Mood Scent. This DIY Relax Eye Pillow can be used cold to reduce puffiness in the eyes or hot to reduce tension headaches.

DIY Relax Eye Pillow

Materials

  • 1.5 cups flax seeds
  • .5 cup dried lavender
  • eye pillow pattern
  • .25 yard of fabric (scraps or an old t-shirt works great!)
  • Relax Mood Scent
  • thread
  • basic sewing supplies: scissors, needle, iron, and/or a sewing machine (you can definitely make this eye pillow by hand and enjoy the meditative experience of hand sewing)

Instructions

  1. Mix flax seeds and dried lavender together in a large bowl.
  2. Download pattern, print, and cut.
  3. Double fabric with pattern facing inside and press. You will line the pattern up to the top of the fabric on the fold. Pin pattern to fabric with the long straight edge lined up to the fold and cut around pattern.
  4. Remove pattern and pin around the exposed edges. Don’t pin (or sew) about 1” from the top of one of the sides of the eye pillow to allow a hole for filling later.
  5. Sew around edges with a ¼ inch seam allowance.
  6. Turn eye pillow right-side out and push out corners with your finger. Fold in the edges of the open spot in and press eye pillow.
  7. Pour flax seed and lavender into the hole on the edge of the eye pillow using a funnel or measuring cup.
  8. Sew the hole on the edge of the eye pillow where you just filled.
  9. Spritz your DIY Eye Pillow with Relax Mood Scent before use and enjoy!
