The giveaway was from AllModern.com and I chose an awesome zig-zag pillow. I love it.
I must be suffering from the winter doldrums because I am craving yellow. Yellow, yellow everywhere!
In an effort to satisfy my craving, I made a little yellow pillow today (it looks more yellow and less beige in person). I used freezer paper stencils I cut out loosely based on this design. Instead of using the usual fabric paint, I took a tip from Vanessa and used spray paint. It was so easy and way fast.
And now my couch has a little bit of sunshine!

That pillow is adorable!! And I have been craving yellow a lot lately too.
Seriously? You are SO cool! And I'm super jealous of both of your pillows. Question? Is the fabric stiff now?
I'm on a HUGE yellow kick right now that I am sure is because of this dreary weather. Drrrreeearrry weather. The little bits of yellow sure perks me up! Congratulations on winning again!
i hate all my throw pillows but i don't know what i want that would look good! everything you've ever put on your couch looks so cute, but it's just not that way for me!
these are adorable. my mom is rather crafty herself and she says that spray paint never turns out as well as you hope it would. i told her about all of your spray paint projects. they seem to be perfect. do you think spray paint has evolved from say ten years ago? what kids are best? i have the freezer paper, sounds so fun to make a stencil and spray a pillow! by the way...i have a 15 month old and am a stay at home mom and have MAJOR crafting envy. HOW do you get it done? Seriously, you must have an amazing napper or you never sleep yourself! You are a total inspiration!
Oooh, spray paint with a freezer paper stencil - LOVE IT! Must try. We're about to have our basement recarpeted and painted and I picked out a very light yellow for the walls. So I guess I'm on a yellow kick now too! Love this idea as I am now on the hunt for groovy yellow accessories. Thanks for sharing!
Megan- I was concerned about that too but the fabric is surprisingly not stiff! It is as stiff as it would be if I had used fabric paint. It does smell a little but that is common with anything spray painted and it will fade.
Mer- I am no interior designer but I would be happy to help you make some pillows. Let's talk!
Alyssa- Yes, I think spray paint has improved over the years. It can be tricky though. I can not stress the importance of PRIMER! (Although I didn't use it on the fabric but anything else must be primed). I use Krylon paints. The have the best nozzle and smell less than other brands. You have to be patient (not a talent of mine) and do several light coats to avoid drips.
I get the "How do you do it" question a lot. I do stay up WAY too late. My son does nap well most days thankfully, and I often craft or sew instead of cleaning the bathroom.
Janimal- oh to have a basement! I am so jealous! Have fun decorating it!
Congrats on the win! I have to say I'm a bit jealous of your chevron pillow - and the one you spray painted! This is definitely something I'll have to attempt!
really really cute!
