Today Is The Day For Being Awesome - Freezer Paper Stencil Pillow

I absolutely love making pillows!  Pillows can be very expensive, and if you are like me and like to change your home decor often, then buying new pillows to match your decor is not an option.   When I saw this Today is the Day For Being Awesome image on in the Silhouette Online Store, I new I had to make a pillow using it.  Now every time I see it, I smile.  I used the freezer paper stencil method to make my pillow.  It is so simple and inexpensive, a must try if you haven't used it before...

I started by smoothing a piece of freezer paper shiny side down onto my Silhouette mat.  I chose my image, then set my blade to 3, and started the cutting process.

Once cut, I pulled the freezer paper off of my mat and ironed it onto some white fabric that I am going to use for my pillow.  Iron the outside part down instead of the actual letters.

Next, I chose my paints and gathered my stenciling brushes.  I dabbed a thin coat over the entire area.

 Once the entire area is covered, pull your stencil up.  You want to do this while the paint is still wet.

  Let dry, then you can sew your pillow using whichever method you prefer.

Now, doesn't this pillow just make you feel like you are going to have the most awesome day ever?
