I Really like the chevron pattern. I've been trying to find something to make with it.
I downloaded my pattern from google and traced it onto freezer paper. I cut it out with an Exacto knife, and ironed it onto my material.
I used gray acrylic paint on my fabric, and applied it with a foam brush. I let it dry and then carefully peeled it off so I could do the other pillow.
I placed a cloth over top the fabric and ironed it for a few seconds to make sure the paint stays when I wash it. I sewed them up and viola!
I really like how these turned out, and they really add to my living room.
Here is one of my other painted pillows
I saw it on The Nest and thought I'd make my own. What design would you copy?
