Fall Leaves DIY Pillow Cover

<p>Today I’m going to show you how to make a pretty fall DIY pillow cover with sparkly golden leaves. It’s a beautiful way to add a bit of cozy autumn style to your home!</p> <hr><p><em>Supplies needed:</em></p> <ul><li>Natural Throw Pillow Cover</li><li>Tumble Dye Gold Glitter Fabric Spray Paint</li><li>Cricut Stencil Material</li><li>Electronic Die Cutting Machine OR Stencil</li></ul><hr><p>Attach the stencil material to your cutting mat with the blue side up, then cut the design of your choosing using your craft cutting machine. I set my machine to the stencil material cut setting and it worked great.</p> <p>Peel the blue part of the stencil away from the backing, then stick it onto your pillow fabric. Make sure all of the edges are firmly pressed into the fabric.</p> <p>Place a piece of wax paper inside your pillow cover to prevent the paint from bleeding through to the back of your pillow.</p> <p>Shake the fabric spray paint well, then spray it onto the fabric inside your stencil. You may need to protect the rest of your pillow cover from overspray.</p> <p>The paint pools on the plastic stencil, so I just used a paint brush to push the paint off the stencil and onto the fabric. I used the same leaf stencil for my entire pillow, so I just peeled the stencil up, re-positioned it, and repeated the process again.</p> <p>Allow your DIY pillow cover to dry for several hours, then heat set the paint. Cover with a clean sheet of copy paper, then iron for 60 seconds, keeping the iron moving to avoid scorching the fabric.</p> <p>It’s really such a simple process, but the DIY pillow cover turns out very pretty. There’s a nice variation in color where the spray went on thicker in some areas, so it almost looks hand-painted. And I love that it’s a little bit sparkly without being in your face. <strong>It adds just the right touch of fall!</strong></p><figure><a class="images-link" data-lightbox="gallery" href="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/HzgPFOlGn-n4HwvSSGXFG39IXbs=/9ab1ed57a1754269b8ee7ce500c5f9d8"><img data-image="33452" src="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/unsafe/fit-in/1000x0/https://abbigli.com/thumbs/HzgPFOlGn-n4HwvSSGXFG39IXbs=/9ab1ed57a1754269b8ee7ce500c5f9d8"></a></figure><figure><a class="images-link" data-lightbox="gallery" href="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/Uxf3Zv3arSs75hVRo12ps28kpwA=/f02306ce985745f48644d93d8bed789f"><img data-image="33451" src="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/unsafe/fit-in/1000x0/https://abbigli.com/thumbs/Uxf3Zv3arSs75hVRo12ps28kpwA=/f02306ce985745f48644d93d8bed789f"></a></figure><figure><a class="images-link" data-lightbox="gallery" href="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/1CTQMfp1RFEevAkdKBSJrpek6QY=/a684e50b56ee4591973d11d570194324"><img data-image="33453" src="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/unsafe/fit-in/1000x0/https://abbigli.com/thumbs/1CTQMfp1RFEevAkdKBSJrpek6QY=/a684e50b56ee4591973d11d570194324"></a></figure><p>Thanks for photos and idea to&nbsp;<a href="http://blog.consumercrafts.com/decor-home/fall-diy-pillow-cover/">Jennifer</a></p>
