Dig through your closet and find articles of clothing that you no longer wear and that would make for a great color or design for a pillow. You want to select clothing that is relatively intact, as you will be repurposing the fabric. Clothing items that are well suited to this refashioning include denim jackets, flannel shirts, and long skirts or dresses that feature lots of fabric. Look for clothing items that have interesting designs or patterns on them, such as floral arrangements or plaid. These designs can help spice up your pillow design. Buckles, zippers and buttons that are on the clothing can be incorporated into the pillow as well. If you choose to highlight these items, cut your fabric appropriately. If you're missing that one color that will complete your design, consider visiting a thrift shop, or ask your neighbors if they have any clothing they no longer want. There are a variety of pillow designs out there, so think about the purpose of the pillow. Will the pillow be for decorative purposes? In this case, the size, shape and fabric are entirely up to your own liking. Decorative pillows are rarely sat upon, so comfort doesn't need to be a factor. Will the pillow be used as a cushion? For example, will people be lying against the pillow on the couch, or will the pillow be used as a sleeping pillow? If so, size, shape, fabric and stuffing will all play an important part in the comfort level of the pillow. Common throw pillow sizes are square in shape and range in size from 12"x12" to 24"x24". Common bed pillows sizes are more rectangular in shape and start at 20"x26". Once you have identified the purpose of the pillow, select the fabric you wish to use from the old clothing you gathered earlier. Review your materials carefully. If you want to make a larger pillow but only have a small amount of the fabric needed, you may have to change your plan. Choose clothing with softer fabrics such as satin, silk, cotton or flannel if you are making a pillow that demands comfort, such as a bed pillow. Tougher fabrics, such as polyester or linen, are great to use as decorative pillows, as their sturdy composition helps the pillows maintain shape and last longer. Tougher fabrics are also useful if you need to make a sturdy cushion for kids or pets. Choosing the right stuffing for your pillow goes hand in hand with the fabric selection to create the perfect pillow for your needs. Different stuffing lends itself well to different purposes. Materials such as cotton, wool, and duck or goose down and feathers are among the softest types of pillow stuffing and are great for sleeping pillows. Take care when selecting; some stuffing, such as down, cannot be washed, as the feathers will not dry. Synthetic materials such as polyester, foam and microbeads tend to be cheaper than natural materials, and can range in their levels of firmness. Seeds and herbs like buckwheat, millet, flaxseed and lavender can also be used as pillow stuffing if you're making a decorative pillow. Note that this stuffing is harder than other types of stuffing and often a bit noisy. However, certain seeds and herbs give off a pleasant aroma, which can help enhance a decorative pillow's purpose.

Article: One way to let your crush see that you like him without opening your mouth is to simply lock eyes with him. Make eye contact for just one or two secondsjust enough time to show you're paying attentionand then look down at the floor or just avert your gaze. This will show your crush that you like him without being too obvious; if you simply stare at him, that may be coming on too strong. You can try this trick just one or two times when you're in the same room together, whether you're at a party or in class. Just try to be subtle about it; you don't want him to catch you staring too many times! You can even give him a small flirtatious smile to go along with the look. You don't need to give your crush an ear-to-ear grin to show him that you're interested. Simply look at him, give him a small smile, and then look away or start a conversation with him. Your smile shouldn't be too big or eager, or he may just think you're being friendly; instead, try to be a little bit mysterious when you smile at him, so you play coy while letting him know you're interested. If you really want to up your flirtation factor, you can even learn to smile with your eyes. Another way to let your crush know you like him is through some simple open body language. If your body is "open," that means that you're standing tall, face your crush, turn your feet and shoulders toward him, and keep your arms out instead of crossed over your chest. This shows your crush that you're interested in him and that you like being around him. The next time you're standing next to him or sitting next to him, make sure you're turning your body in his direction so he sees that you like him. For example, if you're talking to him and cross your legs, make sure your crossed leg is crossed toward him, not away, so you have more of an open posture. Another way to show your crush that you like him is to simply move a bit closer to him, whether you're talking to him or just hanging out at the same party. You don't need to be too forward or start close-talking or making him uncomfortable, but you should show him that you like him by simply gravitating toward him in social situations. Without being clingy, you can show your crush that you like him simply by paying a bit more attention than you do to other guys by standing next to him, sitting by him, or making sure you get a chance to chat when you're in a small group. When you do talk to him, you can make an effort to stand a bit closer or to sit a bit closer to him as the conversation progresses. If he doesn't move away but moves toward you, then this may be a sign that he returns your feelings. If you want to tell your crush you like him without blurting it out completely, one thing you can do is to give him a light touch or two. If you're talking to him or pass by him, you can give him a light touch on the shoulder or upper arm, or even playfully swat his arm if he's teasing you. If you're standing or sitting next to him, you can casually let your feet or knees touch from time to time to show him that you want to get closer. Just a bit of physical attention will let your crush know that you like him. You don't need to push it too far; just touching him once or twice during a conversation will show him that you like him. Now, this doesn't mean that you have to dress to the nines or put on a ton of makeup to get your crush's attention. However, it does mean that you should look and feel beautiful, fresh, and clean when you talk to your crush; putting an effort into your appearance will give you a boost of confidence, and it will also show your crush that you want to make a good impression on him. Make sure to wear clothes that make you feel comfortable and not to pretend to be someone you're not. If you're hanging out with your crush and just a small group of people, dressing up will show him that you've put some thought into how you look for him, which may indicate that you do have a crush on him.
