Chenille Baby Blanket

Make Your Own Slippers

Make your own comfy slippers by re-purposing some old thick fabric.

Make a Weighted Blanket

A weighted blanket has been found to be comforting and calming for someone with ADHD or autism. Similarly some survivors are finding them very healing. I have heard some say it is like having a hug, when you need touch but are on sensory overload and/or don’t trust others enough to ask for or to accept touch. This is a tutorial to make a weighted blanket, buying one is a lot of money, making one sounds like a great idea to me.

Tshirt Into a Drawstring Bag

Great to have some quick comfort items in and leave it hung on a hook, easy to remember and grab when you need a little comfort.
