Fiberfill For Big Amigurumi And Crochet Pillows
When it comes to purchasing polyester stuffing, the cost of your materials might increase greatly if you make a big amigurumi or a crochet cushion as these projects use a lot of stuffing. So I decided to try some alternative options and to my surprise, I found that fiberfill from regular bed pillows works great!
You can find inexpensive pillows in any local Walmart for as low as $3.47 – $4.97 CAD! The Blue Whale pillow from Walmart is generously overfilled with 100% polyester fiber & it is washable and dryable.
HOW TO USE FIBERFILL FROM PILLOWS: Cut the the seam of the pillow open, take out some stuffing (as much as you can fit in your hand) and fluff it up with your fingers. Now you can use it to stuff a crochet project!
I hope you will give it a try and share your feedback with us 🙂
Thank you for sharing so much good information and cute patterns!! I love what you do, to create so much fun things! I’ve done 3 rugs, 1 blanket and 4 stuffed animals since I discovered your company last January!
Hi Susan, you are welcome. I am so glad you enjoy our patterns 🙂
Can I use a round pillow form in it’s entirety.? For the elephant .
It might be hard to find the perfect size of a round pillow base, but you can try it. I prefer to use stuffing.
