How to Turn Your Plain Cushions Into Crazy Colourful Puffs of Delight
I love experimenting with ways to bring more colour into the home for a cheery and uplifting vibe. I decided to try on cotton fabric cushion cover a vibrant design using some unicorn spit gel stain.
First I use masking tape to position flat on table the plastic bag that the cushion cover came in.
then I decide which vibrant colours to use in my circle design.
I create more circles of colour .
And more circles!
And even more! When finished, I spray the paint all over with water.
spray with more water to spread the paint evenly .
Then I cover with cotton cushion cover and once in position spray over the top with water to help design soak through.
I begin spreading the paint gently from centre to outer edges to create the desired effect.
Spreading paint outwards
Peel away the cover from the uni orb spit gel. Revealing a beautiful design to hang out to dry before covering with protective fixing spray.
so delighted with the colourful cushion cover makeover.
The vibrancy is gorgeous.
Really is cheery!
I am so happy with the end result!

Could you maybe do this with regular fabric paint or tie dye paint? It seems like you could. If you water it all down and all. The colors should run like the ones shown here, right? Just saying if the Unicorn Spit is too expensive. Very pretty! I love it! 🌻💕😊🌈🕊️✌️

Have a question about this project?
Using your technique on this type fabric, does the design "paint" both sides (is the back of the pillow tie dyed also)? Your technique is terrific! 😎
Hi, does anyone have the video to make the pine cones that are spray painted and look like roses..... Thanks
I love what you've done Susan. I missed the sealing part though. What did you use to seal the colours and make it "washproof". Thanks.
