I have used Cutting Edges Stencil to make an Accent Wall, Pallet Dandelions Wall decor, Give Thanks Wall Art and a backdrop for my daughter's Make Wish Party. Love their stencils! So when I found out that they lunched a new site called Paint-a-Pillow, I couldn't wait to try it out! The Paint-a-Pillow Stencil Kit comes with everything for you to create your own designer pillows! So fun!

You call find the full instructions and videos HERE.
1. Shake the paint jar and stir the paint with the stirring stick. Then pour some fabric paint onto the paint tray. Load your mini-roller by rolling it over the paint, pressing slightly and making sure the paint gets evenly absorbed into the roller surface. A properly loaded roller should look almost dry, with paint evenly absorbed into it. Not stripy. Take care not to overload your roller! Less paint is better!
2. Make sure the stencil is secured to the frame with the bent down metal tabs. Start stenciling by rolling over the stencil, using light to medium pressure and slowly building paint coverage. Don’t press hard on the roller. Excessive pressure can cause paint seepage under the stencil. Make sure you achieve nice even coverage. If your stenciling looks a little blotchy, roll on a little more paint.
The edges are easier to finish with a stencil brush. Dip the tip of the bristles into the paint and do a few swirls on the tray to make sure the paint gets worked nicely and evenly into the bristles.
3.Bend the metal tabs up on the frame and carefully lift and remove the stencil. The pillow cover now has to dry completely. You can let it dry inside the stenciling frame, or carefully take it out and put in a safe place to dry. You can speed up the drying process by using a hair dryer or a fan.
4. Now you can: heat-set your pillow if you’re planning on washing it, accessorize your pillow with tassels and embellishments, water-proof it if you want to use it outdoors, or simply stuff it as is and enjoy!
