Bean Husk pillow Project

This little project called our Bean Husk Pillow Project has been ongoing for several months now.
The parties involved in this project are: Mum, Aunty LY, Grandma and I (the least involved :P)

Mum went to the tow-gay seller in our market to collect the husks.
Grandma was in-charge of the sieving and sorting process which is MOST TEDIOUS of all!
The husks come with bits of the leftover beans and other "unwanted particles" so she painstakingly sieved through all of them.

The husks went through stringent sorting, selection and sunning processes and are immaculate. End result? Beautiful sun-dried bean husks!


You will also need a funnel and cup.


I bought pillow and bolster from Kiddypalace, removed all the stuffings inside.


Cut a small little opening on a corner of the pillow and pour bean husks inside.


Our QC Officer busy with her biggest project of the year.


So cute! Though she is getting demented and asks me the same questions everytime I'm home (like "How many months maternity leave do you have?") but I still love my Grandma! :D


Same process for the baby bolster.


The finished products:



One beannie pillow like this easily cost you $20 (our total cost is only $9 for the materials) but it's not about the $$.
It's about doing things with your beloveds that no amount of money can buy.

Even Andy's mum complimented that they are very nicely done. Feel so proud of my Grandma, Aunty LY and Mum.
I love my family so much and want Baby A to grow up in an environment filled with lots of love and family togetherness :)
