Backpack camping deep into the woods calls for packing light. I whipped up two mini pillows from one adult medium sized t-shirt to be hooked to backpacks with a carabiner. You don't have to be a camper to appreciate a neck pillow in the car or airplane. So make a few of your own, hook up to your bag, and get exploring already!

Backpack camping deep into the woods calls for packing light. I whipped up two mini pillows from one adult medium sized t-shirt to be hooked to backpacks with a carabiner.

Instructions

  1. Small spring and summer 2012 182

    Step 1: Select a t-shirt. I cut a large rectangle that included the logo. Keep the neckline intact.

  2. Small spring and summer 2012 183

    Step 2: Trim around the neckline and then cut it in half. This will be your loop for two pillows, since it is very sturdy.

  3. Small spring and summer 2012 184

    Step 3: Turn rectangles inside out. Place loop facing inward near one of the corners.

  4. Small spring and summer 2012 187

    Step 4: Starting with the corner near the loop, sew around the entire rectangle leaving about 4-5 inches.

  5. Small spring and summer 2012 190

    Step 5: Turn the pillow right side out and stuff it to your liking.

  6. Small spring and summer 2012 192

    Step 6: Sew the rest of the pillow closed. Hook the loop to a carabiner or keychain and clip to your bag. Happy camping!
