Love-ly Pillows
I love pillows!
And what a great Valentine for someone...
I posted about these pillows back in 2011...
They were a favorite and I'm sharing them again with bigger, brighter pictures.
I began with a Home Depot painters drop cloth...
I wrote the word love on my computer in a pretty font
and printed it out.
Next I taped the print-out to card stock and used my craft knife to cut it out.
I used spray adhesive to stick the stencil to the fabric...
And it was time to stencil.
And it was time to stencil.
An oil based pot paint was used to get a shaded effect.
I used a swirling motion with my stencil brush to fill
in the stencil.
in the stencil.
I lifted off the stencil and let it dry overnight.
I sewed around the pillow leaving one side open.
I stuffed the pillow with fiber fill, pinned it closed,
and hand sewed the final side of the pillow.
and hand sewed the final side of the pillow.
I sewed tassels on each of the 4 corners of the pillow.
Finished!
And very love-ly!
While I was at it I made 6 to sell as Valentine gifts!
Wouldn't you just love to get one for Valentine's Day?
All 6 sold on my Etsy Shop!
