DIY- Fashion Pillow!

So I found this idea on Pinterest that was originally from here. I loved the idea so much and decided to really make it my own. I used the same quote from the pin because I just loved it as soon as I saw it. But as you will see my quote is a little different from the original pillow, and both of us varied from the original quote Robert Fulghum quote. However you could use any quote or drawing or anything you want!

To start with, I of course, went thrifting! I found bins full of really nice pillows for $1.99! So naturally I bought all sorts! I picked out ones I thought had the best colors.

From there I just got a stencil and went to work! At first I tried to use the "fabric markers" like the original post suggested, however I quickly learned that was not going to work. I found two types of fabric pins; one being just like a regular permanent marker, but with a longer and thinnner tip, and then one that was like a paint pin that you had to pump. I had a feeling the paint pin would not work well, since they never have for me before, but they did not have the color I needed in the thin one. So after using the pump fabric pin and it not working very well, I ended up just using acrylic paint with the stencils. Please note though the thin fabric marker did work very well and I would recommend it.

So here is my final product!

Needless to say I am ABSOLUTELY obsessed!! And it was SO EASY to do! Happy crafting everyone! I cannot wait to make another one myself!

Love Always,
