Stenciled Placemat Pillows

 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!

XO Lisa S

  1. They are so pretty and I love the stencils. What a nice thing for your son to send you. Great looking cushions.
    I 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
