I have successfully made a continental pillow out of two three pound coffee
tins. I first joined the two tins together end to end with lots of duct
tape. Then I used an old wool blanket cut into strips wide enough to cover
both tins. I always look for the tattier blankets in the thrift
shops,they're cheaper, I have quite the collection ..you never know when you
need a new pillow:) Wrap the wool strips tightly around the tins until
you've got about an inch or so thickness (whatever holds your pins well).
Make a tube of unbleached cotton with draw strings in the ends, force the
tube over the wool wrapped tins and pull the draw strings really, really
tight. Then I make a removable cover. It's a good size pillow and isn't
too heavy. Sharon ..on dull, wet, and cold Vancouver Island
