Between my rosemary bushes and blue sage, my yard is full of pollinators which is good for the garden. However, this year I've been seeing bee home decor everywhere--have you noticed it too? I wanted some new outdoor pillows and since I’m not a free hand paint kind of girl, I decided to stencil. I found just what l was looking for at Hobby Lobby. If you prefer to shop online, click here!
Next, I found not one, but two of these outdoor striped pillows at Ross for $7 each. Perfect! Also FYI, Walmart has some cute $5 outdoor pillows. The only difference is theirs are square and I really wanted the lumbar shape.
Now I was ready to stencil! Conveniently, the pillow had a zipper case, so I unzipped it and placed wax paper inside to keep the paint from soaking through the fabric to the pillow.
Next, I used masking tape to secure the stencil and painted most of the sections with yellow craft paint. I used DecoArt Patio Paint: click here!
I love the honeycomb and it will be fun for a future project, but for these
Isn't it bee-u-tiful? ;)
