PB inspired LOVE pillow

I've had this plain tan pillow cover from Target for a couple of years now.

I've always wanted to try one of the cool transfer methods I see in blogland on it.

Should I stencil it, use wax paper transfer, Citra-Solv, transfer paper?

There were so many ideas that I was overwhelmed and did nothing with it.

Then I saw this Pottery Barn pillow on Pinterest and I thought it was so cute!

I decided to try to make my own version of this pillow.

 

 

Clearly I should have spaced the letters closer together...oh well.

I still think it's cute and Valentine's is such a short holiday so it will only be around

for a couple of weeks.

I mixed some pink paint with some fabric painting medium from Michael's craft store.

I folded my pillow in fourths and using chalk I drew the outline for each letter on the pillow.

I then painted the outline.

Once that was done I figured out what design I wanted to paint on the inside of each letter.

As you can see I didn't try to make my letters an exact copy of the PB design.

Their pillow just inspired the design of mine.

You know I love changing around the vignettes in my living room!

Here's the latest. ;)

Back to the pillow...

After the paint dried,  I just dabbed off any chalk that was still showing with a damp paper towel.

I then ironed the pillow to set the paint.

 

I'll putting together a "pretty in pink" Valentine's room for you soon!
