CHANGING THE LOOK OF MY DROP CLOTH PILLOWS

Happy Friday!

And a cold one at that! :)

Couldn't wait for this week to end, you see, our son is flying back home tomorrow for the second half of his 
"after deployment leave" and we are really excited to be able to have a little more family time together.

Sooo, before he arrives, I thought I take a rare, quite moment around here and share with you how I changed 
the look of the drop cloth pillows on my back porch.

Until we buy new outdoor furniture, I have been trying to make our porch a little more appealing 
by making new outdoor curtains (you can see that post here) and just add a few pretty pillows.

 You all know how much I like pillows! :)

Supplies needed for this project.

First, iron your fabric.

I forgot to take pictures while I was making the pillows, so I had to improvised and cut another piece of drop cloth to be able to give you this tutorial. Don't look at the wrinkles! :)
I chose a Fleur de Lis stencil.

Using a fabric marker, I traced the design.

And using a tiny paint brush and my favorite shade of brown, Burnt Amber, I filled in the Fleur de Lis.

Once it was dry, I placed the finished drop cloth piece over a larger burlap square and secured it with fabric glue.

And that's it! So simple.

What do you think?

 

I want to thank everyone that linked this week at Tuesdays at Our Home 
and also, those of you that took the time to stop by for a visit.
I really appreciate all your support!
I will be back with the features for this week.

Meanwhile, I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! 
 Stay safe and warm.
