The How to on stenciling How to stencil on just about anything

I can’t sew for nothing!

But I can stencil, use a hot glue gun, and stitch witch any day of the week.

I am in LOVE with stitch witchery, it truly is amazing stuff.
 
Today I am sharing a diy painters tarp pillow.
 

I have used this stencil NOW 6 different ways and you can 

 
view my DIY gallery/Stencil projects to get the how to’s.
SO easy, so fun,
 
and the stencil was only $2.00 at Hobby lobby.
 
I bought another canvas the other day and thought I would attempt some pillow making.
EASY PEASY once again.
 
I started with this…
 
I started with my square, which I used a slip cover from another pillow as my template Canvas came from Walmart, however you can get paintcanvases of course at Home depot and Lowes as well.
I then used stencil tape  to create one wide stripe, then I painted it with a craft paint, you can  also see my kitchen recipe stencil I have taped here as well. STENCIL came from Hobby lobby.
As you can see, you would never know this was not hand or machine sewn.
What I did after I stenciled is put my stenciled square face down on top of the one another with the stitch witchery at all but one end, I cut long strips to put across each end.
I took my iron and put it on steam and ironed across each section carefully.
I love how neat the stenciling came out too. I used a very small artist brush for the stenciling part and did my words  randomly

I tied the bottoms with some twine as the pillow was too fat and I could not pull it together to use the stitch witchery.

From just one paint canvas, I could probably make 10 pillows.
I must get busy.
Thanks so much for stopping by and all your sweet bloggy love.
XO

  1. Those cushions would go so perfectly in the bedroom makeover I'm planning!! They've turned out beautifully Debbie! I love the stencilling details too – enough to be interesting but not over the top, it looks really authentic! 🙂

    Hope you've had a lovely weekend!

  37. Debbie you are kidding!! Only you can do that without sewing! That is the cutest pillow. Maybe I need to try stitch witchery instead of trying to locate the sewing machine! Hey we color people have to stick together, lol! I crave the blue wall color Pat at BPM has in her dining room, but I have nothing that color. Some day…

  47. Debbie! Your pillow looks great! You are so talented that I'll bet you would be a great seamstress with just a little bit of practice…especially to do straight seams like the pillow! However, this is wonderful for a non-sewn pillow! Great looking-artsy with Pottery Barn glam! A winner!!! xxoo Diana

    • your pillow is so original. Perfect for non sewers. the only thing that puzzles me is how did you put twine on the bottom of the pillow. When i looked at it it seemed there was open spaces. Did you hand sew the twine? Just asking!!!!!! Thank you.
