All you need is...


First apply the tape to the pillow in a stripe pattern you like.

It is important to put a piece of paper or cardboard between the layers of your fabric so the paint doesn't bleed through.

Using the sponge pouncer and a light touch of paint, pounce the paint down the stripes. 

Remove the tape before the paint dries.

I made a different stripe pattern for each of the 4 pillow covers I bought.

I added a monogram to one of the pillows on each side of the stripe using a children's plastic stencil. It gave me the perfect simple vintage monogram I was looking for.
