Stenciled Pillow Makeover

Here is a quick and easy project that will show you how easy it is to turn something boring into something new and beautiful!

I used a pillow cover I already had at home and gave it a whole new look! 

You're gonna love this one! 

I'm also adding several other DIY pillows you're going to love! 

I had an old large lumbar pillow cover that I liked too much to get rid of but didn't use because it was... well boring! 

It has a great velvet trim but nothing else.

Truth be told I do like a little boring. 

I love decorating with neutrals. 

And if you peeked into my closet, you'd see a whole lot of black, white and grey. 

Today, I'm going to stencil this boring pillow cover with a bold blue stencil that matches the pretty trim and make it new again! 

I'm using a new stencil called Retro Stars from Old Sign Stencils. 

If you've used these stencils before you know how great they are. 

Old Sign Stencils are made from a thick, durable material that can be used time and time again. 

Trust me, you're gonna want to use this retro star all over the place! 

The first thing I did for this project was to line the inside of the pillow cover with a piece of plastic. 

This is done so the paint wouldn't bleed through the layers. 

I found a blue paint in my workshop that matched the trim around the pillow. 

The paint is a very cool color shift paint, it won't shift on fabric but the color was perfect! 

I stenciled the retro star with a stencil brush, pouncing straight down as I went.

As you can see I've used this stencil at least once already! 

When the paint dried I stuffed a down feather pillow insert into the cover. 

This pillow cover has a whole new retro look and it is anything but boring!
