DIY Stenciled Pillow




 


Want to make your own?

Supplies:
Pillow cover (I bought a pillow that had a removable cover).
Pencil (for tracing)
Letter stencil 
Fabric marker
Cardboard (or magazines worked for me... so that it doesn't bleed through the other side)
 


Once you have all of your supplies the how to is really simple. Pick out what you want stenciled on your pillow, trace with the pencil and fill in with the fabric marker. Easy Peasy! I didn't worry about everything being perfectly lined up, centered or straight so if you want to do that you might also need a ruler handy. Otherwise the good ole eye balling it works! :)
 
 




In case you can't see it, it reads, "Once in a while, right in the middle of an ordinary life, love gives us a fairy tale." I've always loved this saying and wanted to add it to my home somewhere. It fits nicely in the master bedroom. My husband and I celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary in 3 months and I definitely believe I found my prince charming. :)

  2. Oh wow, this is gorgeous! Suddenly want to make some now! It actually looks store-bought! My boyfriend and I bought some fabric when we got our place which would be perfect for this.

    I've booked-marked for inspiration!

    1. I thought about trying to find another pillow to do a princess quote for my daughter's room. I think they would be great for a children's room too. :) I will definitely go check out your blog.

    1. You could do this with all kinds of stencils, homemade or store bought. I would probably just make sure that the homemade ones were made out of something sturdy, like card stock or thicker cardboard. I will definitely go check out your blog. Thanks for stopping by mine as well. :)

  7. This is so cute- I have I pillow I planned to stencil in paint, I never even thought of using a fabric marker but that is clearly such a better idea! I can't wait to try it!
