The Real McCoy Pottery Barn "Nest Sentiment Lumbar Pillow" $49.00 = MUCHO DINERO! |
I finally decided to get on the ball with making some drop cloth pillows...
I had the NEST pillow in mind specifically.
I purchased my drop cloth from Home Depot the 5x5, I think
for like $6.
{Note to self and others, the one I bought had a water resistant protector underneath (NOT WHAT I WANTED) but had I been making outdoor pillows this would have been AWESOME!}
I am VERY VERY PLEASED with the results.
How did you paint the letters on, you ask?
Oh, well real simple you see...
I CHEATED...:)
I have seen many methods of doing a transfer around, and all are great,
But YOU SEE IN MY LAZY, THROWER-ER TOGHETHER-ER Fashion I....
Drum Roll Please....
T-R-A-C-E-D IT!
I literally took the front piece of fabric and layed it on top of the computer screen and zoomed in the the size I needed. Then I traced with a pen (GENTLY) on top of the screen.
{SHHH! Don't tell my husband; he WILL TOTALLY FREAK!!!!
He FREAKS even if you accidentally touch the screen with your finger while pointing at something}
After that I filled the lines in with a paint brush.
Sewed 3 sides together and stuffed it and
BING BANG BADA-BOOM!!
I think I have enough for another lumbar one...thinking maybe this??
For upstairs...
I was able to make three other larger throw pillows as well. These were also inspired by PB, I'll post on that later... :)
URGH! horrible phone picture, sorry friends... |
I also have these 2 that I did and am not sure what to put on them... numbers, initials, date??
So many possibilities, I DON'T KNOW! But excited!
SOOOOOO, I was able to make My PB INSPIRED pillow and 3 other pillows with that drop cloth for $6.
Ummm, $49, NO THANK YOU!! I have more money for SONIC :)
