Oh my - I've had no time for projects lately - much less anything for myself - but I squeezed in a 30 minute, FREE pillow project. Just 'cause I needed to do a lil' something to lift my spirits - ya know what I mean?
Here we go...
Some free burlap -given to me by a friend who thought I'd do something with it - I love friends like that - don't you?
I quickly free handed a whimsical peacock feather on it - dried almost instantly. Be sure and put some cardboard behind it - paint will bleed through easily.
I added a few buttons out of my endless supply of button jars...
Stitched it up, stuffed it with stuffing from an old pillow that needed tossing and simply pulled on the ends of the threads to fray the edges.
Now, if there was jus' time to "Rest".
Everybody have a great Wednesday!

That's gorgeous, you are very artistic! What kind of paint did you use? I love it.
ReplyDeleteSo cute! Love the serene colors.
ReplyDeleteCindy - I'm answering your question - hope you see this. You asked what kind of paint I used - it is simply acrylic craft paint. Now if I was going to launder it I would have used fabric paint but since you can't really wash burlap - 'cause it completely falls apart - I just used regular paint. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteYou are so talented. Thanks for the lift your pretty pillow provides to all of us! I have a few simple projects I need to do for myself and you gave me a fun nudge... I know too well how busy this time of year is on a farm and hope you find a moment to sit n relax n enjoy your efforts!
