Good morning, my crafty friends. Cutting Edge Stencils has a fun pillow craft to share today. Our sister company, Paint-A-Pillow, makes innovative pillow kits that allows crafters to make gorgeous DIY accent pillows in a snap. Not only is painting the accent pillow fun but it's also rewarding to find the perfect spot to decorate with it in your home. Imagine how good it feels to know that you made the item that brightens your space. Come see how one of our favorite craft bloggers used her kit to enhance her cheerful bedroom.
We'd like to introduce Jen, the clever gal behind Craft-o-Maniac. As you can tell by her blog name, Jen loves crafting. So when we offered her a chance to try a Paint-A-Pillow kit, she jumped at it. She chose the Drifting Arrows Paint-A-Pillow kit with a white pillow cover and Jacquard fabric paint in Golden Rod, Yellow, and Turquoise. Jen commented, "This idea is so darn clever, and so darn easy, and so darn fun." Take a look at her awesome video review and then we'll talk about the details...
Jen covers it all in her video. You can see how she opened the kit and was ready to start stenciling.
She poured her fabric paint into a foam tray and rolled the stencil brush in the paint. She was careful to not overload the brush because this would cause the paint to bleed under the stencil.
When the pillow was completely painted, Jen peeled back the tabs and removed the stencil. She comments, "A stencil that is held into place by fasteners? BRILLIANT!" Once the paint was dry, she inserted the pillow insert and placed it on her bed.
To see more pictures of her pretty stenciled pillow and other creative projects, please visit her blog Craft-o-Maniac.
