Take a picture of your graduating child and his or her friends. Purchase a piece of off-white, tan or beige cotton fabric.If the fabric is 45 inches wide, you will need half yard.Cut the fabric in half so that you have 2 pieces that are 18x22 1/2. When the picture is developed, take it to a copy shop, along with one piece of the fabric, and have it enlarged to 8x10,and color transfered onto the center of the fabric. Then take it home and stitch the two pieces of fabric, wrong sides together,around the edge leaving a space for turning. Turn right side out and stuff firmly. Sew the opening closed.There should be a 4inch to 4 1/2inch border around the picture. Get all the people in the picture to sign the pillow with a permanent fabric marker or pen. They can use different colors. Then throw the pillow in the drier to heat set the ink if necessary. Your child will have a wonderful memento to take away to college or where ever they are going.
