Knock-off Number Pillows
I've wanted those great Number Pillows from Pottery Barn for a long time but didn't want to pay the price.
So... if you were me what would you do?......RIGHT!
Make your own!
The very first thing I did was to get a little inspiration from my friend at Tatertots and Jello.
Second, I got out my new "go to" fabric... the old Home Depot drop cloth! Great Stuff!
Next I wanted to find and print out a great font from my computer!
Wrong!
Why is it the printer is broken every time I need it?
I won't let that stop me... I'll draw the numbers!
I ended up drawing them about ten times until I was happy.
Next I taped the drawing to card stock and cut out the numbers with a craft knife.
Saved the insides, never know when you might need them!
Now it was time to open up the fabric and cut it to the size I needed, then iron it flat.
Next comes the fun part... using spray adhesive on the back of the stencil I glued the stencil down to the fabric.
and using a swirling motion I used stencil paint to fill in the numbers.
voila!
pretty good huh?
Now I let them dry over night.
Time to turn the fabric inside out and sew around, leaving one side open for stuffing.
I stuffed the pillow form inside, sewed the last side closed,
and put them on the sofa!
So glad I didn't pay Pottery Barn for these,
I think mine came out great!
