A way to reinvent a cushion cover with some fabric paint and tape.
I just bought a new couch and needed some new pillows for it, so I bought a white cotton cushion cover from Ikea and set about painting it with a geometric pattern. This tutorial will also work on a tea towel or even a blouse, so feel free to be creative with it.

Step 2
Start taping your fabric. To create a geometric pattern, simply layer long strips of tape in straight lines from different angles, overlapping one another and creating shapes in the process… triangles, rectangles, hexagons, etc. I also outlined the cover in tape at the stitching so the edges wouldn’t have any paint on them.

Step 4
Speedball and Pebeo are both heat-set paints, so they require an iron to make the paint permanent – the instructions say to iron the wrong side of the fabric once the project is dry, but I like to iron over a scrap bit of fabric (muslin) on the right side instead. Either way works. Make sure to let the iron sit on every inch of the cover for a few seconds. And you're done!
