Dog-Faced Pillows [MakerID-31]

For our Maker Faire, we are doing Dog-Faced Pillows. We decided to make this because we want to make comfortable pillows that make you feel warm and at home no matter where you are. We were inspired because Nadia has a dog Chai, and whenever she travels and her family didn’t take her dog, she missed her dog. We saw a pillow online and thought it would be perfect. We started by using a photoshop app and making a model of her dog (Not clear enough when she tried to take a photo of Chai). She is also going to Poland without her dog and will miss her dogs birthday which she is sad about. We thought that everyone could use a dog pillow whether they have a dog or not. Many people love dogs, but have families that can't have dogs or that are allergic. If so, this is perfect for you! You can cuddle with our pillow whenever you want and put wheels on it and take it for a walk. One issue we had with this was that we didn't have a lot of time to make this. Our science periods were cut down due to Mr. K. taking them for the spring concert. We decided on this project because we wanted to master photoshop and have the knowledge of knowing which apps are good in case we needed to photoshop in the future. Although we are very busy after school, we took time during car rides and such to design our pillows. We tried countless times until we got one we liked. During the process we learned that the apps Background Eraser, Phonto, Adobe draw, and Picsart are very easy apps to use for photoshop. We also learned how to sow and do an iron on transfer. If we had more time we would master photoshop and be able to do it fast and well and we would’ve made more pillows. This project costs about $25 if you don't count a sewing machine. We hope you enjoy are pillows! Remember, we will make more and sell them at Macy’s! :)
