How to: ToFrench Themed Pillows

$10
Easy
One more house project, and this one is my favorite: new pillows for my pretty chairs in the library.
I started with this lovely vintage french bird and wreath from The Graphics Fairy. I personalized it by adding some pretty text underneath that says, "Havenwood 1925," which is the year that our house was built. I needed to use my computers preview program to make a reverse image so that the text would not be backwards. (Some computers will do this reverse image in the printing set-up options.)
So here is what you will need...


Flour Sack Kitchen Towels (Walmart!)


Waxed paper


Damp washcloth


scissors


a free reversed image from The Graphics Fairy


ink jet printer


hairdrier (optional)


iron


thread/machine/needle for sewing


pillow stuffing


I used the Wax paper transfer method, which has worked for me on finished wood, unfinished wood and fabric.
Too wet...
Steps:


1. Chose the image you would like to print and make a reverse if it includes text.


2. Cut out a 8 1/2 x 11 piece from your waxed paper.
