No sew owl fall pillow idea

I told you it would be all about the owl for me  when I shared my polka dot fall banner, fall porch, and mantel. Today, I am sharing a no sew owl fall pillow idea.

I have seen my friend Ann from On Sutton place use these pillow covers many times for some of her no sew projects.

Ann even shares a cute pumpkin template to create your own.  Very simple diy here.

I went on line and used a 40% coupon and scored it for $5.99.

I also shopped some more on line at Hobby lobby and found this cute whimsicle owl stencil.

I knew exactly what I wanted to do.

For this project you will need 

Pillow cover

owl stencil

stencil spray adhesive or painters tape works just as well.

Some burlap, mod podge for fabric, craft paints in your own color choice,  and sponge brushes which I always score at Dollar tree in a pack of 10.

First, I pressed my pillow cover.  Then I took my spray adhesive and lightly sprayed the back of the stencil and adhered it center to my pillow cover

I used country blue and copper for my owl stencil.  I love to stencil on fabric. I find it so simple and always turns out perfect.  Remember less is more.  You can always go over spots you missed.  If you over saturate your sponge brush you will have a sloppy bleed through.

Next, I traced with a sharpie the owls ears an arms on a piece of burlap.

I wanted a little texture in those areas.

I lightly painted the back of the burlap cut outs with the mod podge for fabric and put them in place on my pillow.

Oh I forgot to mention I did place a plastic shopping bag inside the pillow just in case of bleed through, while I stenciled.  You don’t want that to happen either.

Still in the drying mode here.

Stuffed my pillow with the pillow insert and there you have a cute little one of kind hand painted owl fall pillow.
