Pillows are a girls best friend! It's not diamonds. Who ever thought that up? Those splendid, delicate, soft, clouds of glory catch me every time I need them too. Think I'm wrong? Think again. When a girl feels sad, she cries on her pillow. When a girl is happy, she plops down on a pillow. When a girl is angry, she buries her face in her pillow and screams at the tippy-top of her lungs. When a girl is confessing her true feelings, she's laying on a pillow. We even we have our own kiddos. Where do you put your them? That's right, on a pillow. We ladies use pillows for everything. Not even sure why they put a diamond in the center of a ring. It should be a piece of fabric from you favorite P-O-Double L---OMG-W. Am I right, or am I right?
Last week I posted this Faux Bois -Every Day I Love You- Sign. Would you believe I turned that same print-out into a pillow? This is my third Valentine's project, in my theme of Valentine projects you could live with all year long!!
Materials:
- Iron-On Transfers
- Drop Cloth or Fabric
- Spray Starch
- Iron
- Fabric Fuse
- This file
Directions:
- Print this file onto your favorite image transfer paper. The image is already reversed and ready to go.
- Iron your fabric, then apply fabric fuse the the edges and form your pillow form. (I like the fabric fuse pictured because it's like a peel and stick sticker, so very easy to use!)
- Use med-low heat for 15-25 seconds and apply to back of transfer sheets. Then pull off sheet backing.
- Starch and iron finished pillow form.
- Stuff pillow and fuse final side.
Anyways, I'm really excited to talk about is my venture adventures. I wasn't sure if I should be talking about my business idea, but I'm going to start putting posts up on what's really happening in my world. As many of you know, I invented a wood stain that takes normal wood and turns it into a reclaimed, drift looking wood. Of course, I'm confessing all of this as I'm laying on a pillow. I've got tons to tell, but for now, I just wanted to see if you guys would actually care about what's really going on. Or if I should just focus on my project posts? What are your thoughts?
Lastly, here's the final of the 3 Valentine's Day projects you wouldn't mind around your house every day of the year, a State Love Pillow! It's another no-sew creation, this time in burlap and felt! It was so much fun thinking of ways to add some "love" decor in a manner I could live with every day! I hope you liked them as much as I liked making them! Don't forget to share your thoughts about my business- do you want to hear about the progress and the struggles, yay or nay?
xoxo
