My Version Of the Pottery Barn Outdoor Pillow
I feel in love with this outdoor pillow from Pottery Barn the other day. They have some great outdoor pillows on their site and reasonable too. This one was $35, a little more than most of them but really cute and looked hand painted {or at least the illusion of it being hand painted} Once I saw it, I was inspired to make my own. I especially liked the idea of not having to be too perfect on the lines since I can’t draw a straight line to save my life.
Well, this is what I ended up with..
Ok, I know it isn’t exactly like the Pottery Barn one, but you get the idea. Once I had finished painting the flag on the fabric {which was so easy to do because you didn’t have to be perfect} I felt that it needed a little somethin, somethin, {plus I used a pen to make my lines and they were showing through the paint..shhh} so I added on the ruffle trim and some fabric flowers and Ta Da! I just love it!
Here is a brief overview on how I did it.
I used a pillow pattern for the pillow, {only because I happened to have one handy and again, I really can’t cut or draw a straight line so having a pattern helps me} but you can just cut two pieces of fabric to any rectangluar size you want or even make it square!
