MONOGRAM STENCILED PILLOW IN MY CRAFT ROOM

Good morning!

I hope you are enjoying your week so far!

This is not a new project, but I have received several emails and comments asking me where did I buy the stenciled pillow in my craft room or if I had made myself, if I could share a tutorial.

I did made this pillow last year after I finished setting up my craft room. 

The wicker chair was sitting empty and I decided to add a little "happiness" to it.

It was a very simple project and completely free to me since I had all the necessary materials to make it.

The only thing I was missing was white fabric.

I looked through my stash and could not find a piece big enough to make it.

Sooo, I got creative and I used a plane white bed pillow cover I had in my linen closet, which I cut to size, 16x16. :)

Yes, it is an illness! LOL

I already had the Martha Stewart stencils that I had purchased months before at Michaels for another project.

I chose the round stencil on the left upper corner of the above picture for my design, but instead of the bird, I personalized it by adding the letter M. 

I used Americana "tomato red" craft paint and a stencil brush for this project.

Make sure you add a piece of cardboard in between your fabric pieces so it does not bleeds though while you are stenciling it.

Very easy to make.

I did sew mine, but you can also use hem tape.

And that's it! Very simple!

I love this little area of my craft room and I use it quite a bit.

The chair sits next to a small round table with some little red accessories.

And a picture of my mom to keep me company.

BTW, today is her birthday. She turns 71 years old.

Happy Birthday, mom! Isn't she pretty? :)

I miss her sooo much!

Here is a little before and after.

Not very good pictures, but it is so gloomy in Texas.

I hope you decide to make your own monogrammed pillow.

Enjoy your day and see you all soon.
