Transfer Methods & Cute Little Pillows
6:00:00 AMI made the cutest little pillows thanks
This one was transferred with the Citrasolv method.
And in case you don't know, painters drop cloth comes in different weights. Not all painter's cloth is the same!
Originally I bought one from Home Depot, the fabric was great, loved it, but it was very rough.
I got another one from Lowes, it was much softer, the same weight, but the fabric was softer and easier to work with.
These pillows were printed in my printer believe it or not.
I stuck the fabric to sticker paper, trimmed it to the size of the 8x10" size, ran it through the printer (with my fingers crossed), and it actually worked....very well too I might add!

Now wait, how about color!
And this one is my favorite!
Notice the little tags I made that say "Paris... they were made from a rubber stamp and Stayzon ink pad.
And this one I bought... I couldn't resist, it was so cute!
And last but not least is a mini pin cushion pillow.

Susan! These pillows are adorable! Great job! You made so many - you must have been very busy to get all these done. I have run fabric through my printer also, but instead of sticker paper (is it expensive?) you can just iron your fabric onto freezer paper, which is really cheap! I love you blog!

These are great! My printer would never allow canvas...sometimes it can accept muslin...but how do you keep the ink from running if they should get wet?
ReplyDeleteI love all of them. I haven't got up the nerve to put fabric through my printer yet - but looking at all your gorgeous projects - I want to do it even more. Saw you on Graphics Fairy.
ReplyDeleteWow, I am so impressed! They look fabulous! You make it sound so easy! Not sure about my printer, what kind do you have?
ReplyDeleteYour pillows are just great! I love all of the images you chose!

Those are absolutely wonderful. Thanks for the treat!!
ReplyDeleteFondly,

My favorite is the printer method. I use spray adhesive on the paper and it works easy. Here's my issue with them. They bleed if moisture or water touches them. BooHoo, so I gave up on this idea.
ReplyDeleteLove these! Gotta love paint drop cloths!
ReplyDeleteThose look really cute! Wow... great thinking
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking it to my Organizing Mission link party.

Okay, I'm jealous! I tried doing this a couple of weeks ago and the fabric kept getting stuck in my husband's printer. I finally went for iron-on :(.
ReplyDeleteLUV your pillows!!! What kind of printer do you have? I would love to try this! :)

ReplyDeleteI love these pillows
ReplyDeletei just love these pillows, outstanding job! thanks so much for sharing this at my party!
ReplyDeleteYour pillows are wonderful. I think I would be so afraid to run fabric through the printer. I can't imagine what my hubby would say.
ReplyDeleteI just love that look. Good to know it works in the printer....how do you wash them/get the ink to set completely?
ReplyDeleteThese pillows are amzing. Love them all, but I especially love the red one.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely weekend!

These are fabulous, love the Paris tags!!! Thanks so much for sharing how you did this, just terrific!!!
ReplyDeleteYou can use bubble jet set ,on the fabric,before printing on it. It will help with the ink
ReplyDeleteYou can use bubble jet set to keep the ink from washing off or running.
ReplyDeleteLove them! Have you found a way to make them waterproof? In the past when i have done these. even the slightest bit of water makes them run :(. Also, you can use freezer paper to run them through your printer--just iron the waxy side to te back of your fabric--much cheaper option!
ReplyDeleteThat bug pillow is amazing! Can't believe you were able to run that through your printer. It's something I've been too nervous to try.
