Lighter bass traps for small budgets

I'm just asking for advice on wether or not this plan will work.

I purchased 32 pillow covers (pics included), size 1.5'x3' that can accomodate pillows that are 4inches thick.

I am planing to purchase fabric to add another layer and cover the pillow covers so that they wont look odd when on the walls. I will hang on the walls with some clips I have left from a past purchase. (TOTAL price for project: 100 to 110 dollars (50 for covers, 30 for fabric, 20 or 30 for insulation)

Home depot is selling R-13, the 3 feet, 3.5" thick, 32 foot long rolls for 9 dollars, so I'm planing to maybe buy 2 or 3 packages and stuff some of the pillows a bit more.

Will these small and light traps work to make the room more mix friendly? (will have 32 of these traps at my disposal for an 8' wide x 9' long x 11' high room)

Also, are there any precautions should I take into consideration when putting the traps together and working with r-13? thanks!
