DIY 'Happy Fall Y'all' Canvas Throw Pillow
I am so excited about this tutorial! It combines two of my favorite things… Fall decor and script font! Swoon. I wish I had handwriting as pretty as this. The font for this pillow was exactly what I wanted for the design. This pillow was a little more on the tricky side, but turned out SO cute. It made the work totally worth it. Here’s how you can make one for your own home!
The first step is to cut out the stencil for the pillow design. I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut mine and even linked a FREE cut file for this design on the blog for all of you! Square it off (or cut around the design to reserve the vinyl scraps) and make sure you leave enough room around the design for the paint so it doesn’t go over the edge where you don’t want it.
Now apply that vinyl stencil to a piece of squared off canvas fabric. Mine measured 14x14 inches. You can make yours whatever size you would like! Make sure the stencil is pressed really securely to the canvas.
Next, you will need to mix fabric medium with whatever color of paint you want to use.
Carefully dab the paint on over the stencil.
This is what you should end up with once the paint is dry and the stencil has been peeled away. Look at all the sharp and crisp lines!
Sew the pillow together using your favorite technique, or visit my blog to see how I finished mine! Remember when you are putting the pieces together that you want the pretty sides touching.
Sew the pillow cover all up and flip it right side out. This is what it should look like!
Sew on the optional tassels if you choose to include them. You can find a tutorial for these on my blog!
And that's it! This is such a cute little fall decor project. And extremely versatile! Imagine how cute it would look with the 'fall' painted to match the color of the tassels. Swoon... I may have to make another now.
