Easy Stenciled Number Pillows
So... if you were me what would you do?......RIGHT!
Make your own!
As you're reading through this post please pay attention to the bold blue links that will take you to more information and the products I used for this project. Also the READ MORE sections will take you to related Homeroad projects.
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!
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.
Pretty good huh?
Now I let them dry over night.
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!

ReplyDeleteSent hubby to the store...our local hardware store closes early on Sunday 8( I will have to wait until tomorrow....BTW...can I ask what you paid for the drop cloth?
ReplyDeleteSusan they look amazing... I love them. I want to do this so badly too... now you have given me the inspiration to get moving on them.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for stopping by earlier, hope to see you again.
Hugs, Deb
I spent $19.99 for the 9' x 12' which is not even the largest... it will make about a zillion pillows! I made #1, #2 and #3 and then about 6 mini "love" pillows, recovered a piano bench and I still used only about 1/3 of it!
ReplyDeleteHave fun!
these are so cool! I love them and now I want some LOL
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job! I have seen these type of pillows popping over all over the net. I am off to Lowe's Home Improvement for a drop cloth!
ReplyDeletelove the pillows i will be trying to make my own this week.
ReplyDeleteI went and got a 4X15...seems HUGE...Cant wait to start...a little nervous though....thanks again Susan for the idea!
ReplyDeleteThose are fantastic!!! :)
ReplyDeleteJen is a great source of inspiration! These turned out wonderfully! Thanks for linking up at WWC!
ReplyDeleteThese are awesome! I think I could even do them. I'm not very good at sewing though and always wonder how you sew up the last side? Do you hand stitch it (after the pillow form is in there). Any tips you have would be great! Thanks for the tutorial!
ReplyDeleteHi Stephanie,
ReplyDeleteYes, I hand stitched the last side after I put the pillow form inside. Really it is all very easy.... Once you get the hang of it you'll be stenciling and sewing your little heart out like I am... see the Love Pillows on my blog :)
