Hello there!
First, I would like to thank you all for your sweet comments on my childhood memory post.
Very much appreciated!
Now onto my project.
This is such an easy NO sew pillow out of painters tarps I am almost a little embarrassed to share.
Sometimes, I feel that way about a lot of my little craft projects.
I mean, if I can do it, you surely can too!
I picked up the tarp at Walmart for around $10.00.
I am thinking I can get at least 3 or more pillows out of it if I wanted.
Basic supplies,
fabric
hot glue gun
and my rooster stencil I bought at hobby lobby.
I have some fabric left over from my
reupholstered kitchen chairs that I did recently.
I even made matching utensil holders HERE
I am no expert at bows, so basically, I just cut two small squares, tied them at the end,then hot glued them together,
and stuck it on the corner.
My template was a pillow cover I had from another pillow.
I just cut it a tad larger, because I knew I needed some extra room to work with.
I hot glued three sides and left one open to stuff the pillow insert I had from as I mentioned another pillow I was not using at this time.
Then of course I turned it inside out to stuff the pillow inside. That was after I stenciled of course.
This was my first time using this stencil in full.
I have mentioned a time or two stenciling on fabric is so easy peasy in my opinion.
I never have a problem or any sort of overage that looks messy.
I do not saturate my brush, just a dab will do you, and brush vigorously.
Easy, no sew diy painters tarp pillow in around 30 minutes time.
Oh and cheap too!
Thanks for stopping by today!
Oh and btw the way, this was not my first diy no sew pillow out of painters tarps...
this was my second one:)
First one, however, I did use the stitch witch.
because, I am a NO sew kind of gal.

I LOVE this, Debbie! Great job! I have some extra drop cloth from when I did the table skirts in our master bedroom and thought I’d do a couple of pillows and maybe a footstool cover. I also want to try stenciling them since I already have stencils and paint here. Except for a couple of pillow forms, I’m all set to try it!
I think it’s vry smart It came out Beautiful!!
Now you have to make some more for the other chairs lol

w what you can do with a painters tarp and a glue gun so cute
I’m a no sew too! I sometimes use pretty place mats, glue three sides, insert pillow or stuffing & glue up 4th side. Voila!! Decorator cushion!
Debbie, that is darling! I MUST find me a rooster stencil!!!!

Thanku!! I have had my tarp ready for awhile but the tension on my sewing machine is seriously messed up. I am not a sewer either :-). But really want to make some pillows!! Now I can!!
Your pillow is too cute, love that rooster stencil it looks adorable on the pillow.
Seriously, cutest pillow, ever!!! Happy Saturday!
Very cute, Debbie! I love the roosters and chickens in black…so classy. Thanks for sharing with us how you made your pillow with no sewing!
This pillow is so adorable!
No sew cute!
Awww and it has roosters!! How easy this looks, but how on earth do you keep your glue gun so clean? Mine is a mess…lol…but it’s years old.
Debbie 🙂
That is a somewhat new glue gun Debbie. I went and bought the high temp one as well…not sure if I love it though. Too many burns to speak of LOL!
Such a sweet pillow Debbie! Love your roo’s and the red check bow!
Blessings,
Cindy
Hey Deb another reason why I love you!!! No sew Kris here loves projects like these where no sewing required. I see all these talented sewers out there and would love to make something sweet but I cannot sew so this was nice to see. I am going to try it. Love the roo’s on the pillow too. It looks perfect on your chair.
Kris
Debbie –
I really like the texture of the painter’s tarp. Looks so cozy on your awesome black and red check chair!
Deb
wow, Love that pillow..will be PINNING
I LOVE the pillow!! The roosters caught my eye initially ( I’m a chicken collector) and then the use of the stencils (which I have tons of from many years ago when stenciling was all the rage!) I’m most assuredly going to have to try this! I’m a new follower via Blog Lovin! Hope you’ll stop by the Little Shack on the Hill for a visit!

Debbie this is amazing!! I love your pillow, pinning!

Love this!!! Well I am a bit partial to roosters…. I have like 3 painters tarps still in the packaging….I am not even sure how they ended up at my house (maybe during construction), but no one has staked claim..until now 🙂
Adorable! I love drop cloth projects, and I love easy. This is a winner on all counts. 🙂
I seriously eat up any pillow that is NO SEW. This speaks my language so don’t you be apologizing for it being easy. Some of us are challenged just at the word pillow.

super cute Debbie – I love stenciling on drop cloths too!

Happy belated birthday! Your childhood memories post was so sweet and I loved the Glamour shot. I can see where you get your beauty from, your mom is gorgeous! I also wanted to stop by and say how much I love this adorable pillow and no sew makes it even better. I might have to make a trip to Wal-Mart very soon. I hope you have a great week . 🙂
Thank you Melissa:)
That stencil is so darn cute! I love how the pillow turned out and I would never have guessed it is no sew. You are awesome with a glue gun girl!
Hey Debbie, I just started using a glue gun and I don’t know why it took me so long to get one. I have just finished a project using my glue gun. I am going to try this as I am a no sew kinda gal too! New follower on Bloglovin and FB. Thanks for a great blog!
