Christmas Pillows Using Ink Effects
I happily accepted an offer from DecoArt to try their new
Ink Effects and create a Christmas project...
For this project I am using the black but you could make the same project using many different colors.
I am including affiliate links in blue so you can locate the products for this project at no additional cost to you.
I began with the silhouettes of a moose, Santa, and an owl
from the Graphics Fairy.
I traced the design right off the computer screen onto plain white computer paper.
I used the black ink effects to paint the traced image.
I did the same with all 3 images.
I waited 45 minutes for the paint to dry and was ready to iron.
Using a dry iron with no steam, lay your image face down onto your fabric. You can use the image transfer spray to get the best results on 100% cotton fabric.
After just a few minutes under the iron, lift the white paper and reveal your image.
The black ink effects paint leaves a beautiful vintage transfer.
The image can be ironed more than once,
each image will be a shade lighter than the original.
I used a black and white fabric for the backing and sewed
my image into a pillow.
I used old buttons to decorate the pillow.
I did the same process with the moose image
using a red and white vintage fabric and adding
jute and a button for a bell.
I turned the owl images into lavender sachets by
filling them with a great smelling flax seed, lavender mixture.
I found the ink effects easy to work with and had a great time creating fun Christmas pillows for one of a kind creative Holiday gifts.
A great idea for a children's project for gift giving too!
