Custom Pillows

Create custom pillows using stencils and old doilies.
Doily Pillow: I had several old doilies tucked away in my closet that my grandmother had made. I wanted to find a modern way to display these old keepsakes.
Stretch the doily out over the pillow and secure it with pins. Next, use a simple backstitch technique to secure the doily to the pillow.
Unique and meaningful!


For the stenciled pillow, remove the pillow insert and place a piece of tissue paper into the pillow to prevent paint from soaking through. Next, tape the stencil to the pillow cover.
Using an up and down dabbing technique, apply the paint in a thin coat using high reps. Once dry, put the pillow insert back in and enjoy!
