Nautical Painted Burlap Pillow

$20
Easy
I added a nautical touch to a simple burlap pillowcase to liven up my living room this summer. I used red white and blue paint and some simple stencil materials to achieve the final look.
A few tips for painting on burlap:


It will bleed. Use a spong brush and very little paint.


For this pillow case, line it with something so the paint does not seep to the other side.


Use paper stencils as a guide but don't anticipate perfect lines, your pillow will appear more hand painted.


A freezer paper stencil is the best way to get crisp lines.
