Painted Snowman Pillow/Pottery Barn Knock Off

                                                           

                                                              Painted Snowman Pillow


                   Vanessa @ DIY 180 gave me  inspiration to get out my paints
                         when I dropped by and had seen her painted pillow knock off....

                                                        I fell in love with it!!

                                              For the past three years I have made
                                                   Pottery Barn (copy cat) pillows....

                            So why not give it a try......

                                                                  White Weathered Hutch


                                          I gathered my $ store paints..and washed burlap
                                                        and a piece of cardboard ....

                                                   I wrapped the burlap around the cardboard
                                                              and started painting....


                                                          I'm one of those people who fly
                                                            by the seat of their pants...
                                                             (if you know that expression)

                                            At this point I just wanted to start painting not
                                              knowing what size of pillow form I had or
                                                      how large this snowman would turn out...

                                                               here it is all painted and hanging to dry..

                                       
                                                     The only pillow insert I had was a 24 x 24
                                                                       that's too large so I
                                                        did the next best ....and covered a summer
                                                             pillow that was 15 1/2 x 15 1/2.

                                                       I cut my burlap at 16 x16 and used
                                                         painters drop cloth as my backing.
           
                                                         I made a envelope style for easy
                                                           removal , so come next summer
                                                                   I'll use this again.
                                                              

                                                                       
                                       I cut my drop cloth 16 x 22 and cut it right down the
                                           middle then sewed a 1/2 seam on both sides.
                                               then right sides facing sew all around the edge
                                                    1/2 inch seam and then turn it inside out..


                              Last year was the Jingle Pillow
