We'd like to introduce Julie, the creative DIY blogger behind Julie is Coco and Cocoa. Julie admits to loving bold colors in her house. She attributes her bright color enthusiasm to her husbands gift for interior design. The color scheme for her home is a bit nontraditional, like the orange couch in her living room. But finding the right accessories for her bold space can be a challenge. That's where Paint-A-Pillow steps in. Julie browsed the site and fell in love with a geometric pattern, the Outside of the Box Paint-A-Pillow kit. She selected two white pillow covers and Jacquard Fabric Paint in Orange, Violet, and Neutral Gray.

She poured her Neutral Gray Jacquard Fabric paint into a foam tray. She chose to paint part of the pattern using a stencil brush. ** If you are painting with more than one color, we always suggest starting with the lighter color first.

Julie was careful to not overload the brush because this would cause the paint to bleed under the stencil. After the gray was painted, she painted the orange and then the purple.
