DIRECTIONS:
- Make sure your pillow cover has been washed and dried (without fabric softener) for best results when applying ColorShot Fabric Spray Paint. Iron it smooth, then place a piece of freezer paper inside the cover, waxy side up, and iron again over the top of the pillow cover. This will melt the wax and create a smooth, taught surface for adding your designs. Tape off the section you will be applying ColorShot to and cover the section you do not want to have paint, to protect from overspray.
- In a well-ventilated area, spray a light coat of ColorShot (we used Neon Blue) onto the pillow cover. Let dry and repeat with several light coats until your desired amount of coverage has been achieved. Tip: several light coats work much better than one heavy coat, as with using any spray paint. Let dry and remove tape.
- Once your pillow cover has completely dried, it's ready for quote art. Create your own stencil from poster board by creating the quote then cutting out the wording with a craft knife. Choose your marker palette.
- Place your stencil on top of the pillow cover and use a pencil to lightly trace the wording onto the fabric. Remove the stencil and color in the wording with a Fabric Marker. Let dry completely. Remove the freezer paper from inside the pillow cover and add the pillow form.
- Your pillow is now ready.
