Simple Anti-Stress Pillow Pattern
An anti-stress pillow is a great alternative to similar toys. Because most of these pillows are shaped to securely hold the neck and head in the correct position, the body relaxes and blood flow improves. This helps normalize the nervous system and helps you fall asleep faster.
Some anti-stress pillows can be made in the shape of large toys.
But all anti-stress pillows have one feature: they use small polystyrene beads as filler, which are very pleasant to fidget with. Of course, you can buy such a pillow or toy in any specialty store, but why spend money when you can use your sewing skills?
You can sew this cute and harmless cat in just a few hours.
The pattern for such a creature is very simple, and you can sew all the parts either by machine or by hand (the main thing is to find the polystyrene beads, although I don't think that's a problem🙂).
The size of the toy depends on how much you enlarge the pattern or what kind of pet you want in the end. To ensure the anti-stress pillow provides maximum benefit, choose colors that are most pleasing to you and those that promote faster relaxation.
For a pillow like this, it's best to use herbs that have a mild scent, since the basis of the "elixir of energy" will be essential oils.
Fill the pillow with birch leaves, thyme, and St. John's wort. Each of these herbs is an immunostimulant and somewhat of an antidepressant (which is also quite important). To these, add finely ground dried lemon, orange, or grapefruit peel (any of them will act as a sponge to absorb the oil). Add 5 drops each of bergamot, orange, mandarin, grapefruit, and lime oil to the herbs, mix everything together, and pack it into the pillow.
A few breaths of this "elixir" and a boost of energy and a surge of strength for most of the day is guaranteed (and it only has a positive effect on your health).
Stay healthy!
