Hi Friends,
I hope you are well and enjoying your December.
Last week I found these beautiful woven placemats at the Dollar Tree.
Yes! Run to your nearest store!
Thank goodness I picked them up.
Here in California we are in another even tighter lockdown....
so I have decided to continue decorating and over decorating our entire house.
I really don't need more pillows, but hey these are for the backyard :).
They are two sided.
At this price I can't even make them myself !
I used a seam ripper to open one of the short ends.
These placemats are so nice, they don't need to be stenciled.
For my birthday, my awesome Son sent me a huge package of stencils!
He knows just what I like.
I will be sharing many more projects in the future.
I picked this one for my pillow.
Line up the stencil carefully so that your letters are level .
Tape in place.
Using a dry brush or sponge with very little paint, go over
your design.
After the paint dries, stuff the pillow.
Pin closed and stitch.
I can enjoy a cup of coffee out on the patio.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!

They are so pretty and I love the stencils. What a nice thing for your son to send you. Great looking cushions.
ReplyDeleteI must look for the placemats at the Dollarstore.
Although it is not easy to get there at this time. With the virus we are limited to where we can go. Merry Christmas

Such a clever idea! Sometimes I look at placemats or cloth napkins and thinkg the print would make a great pillow now I know how to execute the idea!

Great idea Lisa. How sweet of your son to send the stencils. Making pillows out of placemats is so creative. I am happy to feature your pillows on Sunday at Love Your Creativity. Merry Christmas.
ReplyDeleteThank you Linda!
DeleteMy son is wonderful. He is also my wood working guy.
He told me the stencils would keep me busy for a while!
Thank you for the feature ;) I will show my son!
