Eye pillows

Start by cutting two pieces of material approximately 10" x 5". Sew inside out on all sides leaving a small hole to turn the pillow back out and to fill. After turning it right-side out fill with mixture and sew up the hole.

Some variations:

Cut material and sew up three sides. Make a separate inner pillow of muslin to slip inside after filling with herbal mixture. Lace up outerpillow with ribbons. Make several herbal mixtures to put inside the outer pillow to change with your mood.
