How to Sew a Bed Roll Pillow

How to Sew a Bed Roll Pillow thumbnail
Standard pillows do not always offer the support your neck needs.

A bed roll pillow is a small, round pillow that is placed behind the neck for support and often stuffed with grain or batting. It is also used as a decorative pillow. When making your own bed roll pillow, you don't need to know your way around a sewing machine, and you can make it as large or round as you like.

Things You'll Need

  • Fabric
  • Scissors
  • Batting or foam
  • Ribbon (no more than 12 inches)
  • Tassels (optional)

Instructions

    • 1

      Cut your fabric for your bed roll pillow. You want a rectangle piece of fabric to work with.

    • 2

      Prepare your stuffing material. This can be batting or foam.

    • 3

      Place your stuffing at one end of the fabric and tightly roll up the fabric. Leave 4 to 5 inches on both sides of the foam or batting.

    • 4

      Wrap ribbon around the ends closest to the batting or foam.

Tips & Warnings

  • You can fold the top and bottom of the fabric in before placing the batting or foam down so that the edges of the fabric are smooth.
