Lavender and Flax Allergy Relief Pillow – easy DIY

Spring and summer in the garden are some of the most rewarding times of year — but if you deal with seasonal allergies, you know the trade-off that comes with that joy. Watery eyes, a little puffiness, that unmistakable feeling that your sinuses have thrown a party without asking permission. Hiding indoors isn’t exactly practical when the garden is calling, so this small DIY pillow filled with lavender and flax gives you a moment of relief waiting for you when you come back inside.

These make wonderful little gifts too — tuck one into a teacher gift basket, a new-mom care package, or any friend who’s been rubbing their eyes since April.
— Mayra

What you’ll want on hand
