Yep. Another long night. I am about to heat up a Hot Pocket {{ and not work out after }}….Gonna go strait to bed. I have to admit to you something. I am not drawn into many “reality” shows but this darn SISTER WIVES got me. I am sitting here crying because…well I’m not too sure. Maybe it is the abundance of love they share with each other. Who cares what they do…I believe in happiness. As long as they are not hurting anyone I am good! They just had a new baby and it was so touching. Maybe I am emotional because I am tired or maybe just because it made me feel good watching them. Who cares. They got me all sappy… Guess I’ll fix it by watching The Real Housewives of Atlanta… Yep. That should fix it. I wish they would do a Real Housewives of Lafayette. Let’s craft!
Get some fabric
Then get the color of paint you want to use. I wanted a BRIGHT red since Christmas is BRIGHT!
Don’t forget to grab your fabric medium. You absolutely need this to convert the paint into fabric paint.
Get your stencil adhesive because you will surely need this!
I wanted to use a brush because I had to paint a large surface.
Get your doily. I just grabbed some that I had in my studio (not even gonna lie 🙂 BTW: I used a paper doily.
Spray the backs with adhesive then place them where you want them.
Start painting your entire surface. After you paint you want to peel off the paper doilies.
You want to let it sit for 24 hours then iron it. This will set the paint.
Place right side up and sew three of the sides. You want to leave one side open so you can slide a pillow in it.
This is what it will look like when you turn it inside out (after you sew three sides)
I love this fabric.
I am so happy with the way it came out! It is so pretty in person! I hope you have fun with this crafterroo!
Sending you a doily to wrap your lovely bed in, jaderbomb
