You Will Need (6 things)

  • 1 yard black fabric

  • Dazzling Metallics from DecoArt

  • Masking tape

  • Ruler

  • Paintbrush

  • Sewing machine with black thread

Steps (4 steps, 90 minutes)

  1. 1

    Cut two pieces of fabric 19″ x 19″
    Draw a line 1 1/2″ from the edge all the way around one square of fabric
    Place masking tape all the way around the outside of the line you just traced
    Draw a line 1 1/2″ inside of the masking tape square
    Now tape on the INSIDE of the lines you just drew being careful to keep the corners at a 90˚ angle.

  2. 2

    Keep repeating this process until you get to the center
    Fill in between the tape with Dazzling Metallics from DecoArt. I used Venetian Gold
    Move the brush away from the tape as you paint.

  3. 3

    When the paint is dry, carefully remove it from the fabric
    Pin the other square on top of your painted fabric and pin all the way around
    Stitch the squares together using 1/2″ seam allowance and on one side leave an 8″ long hole
    Clip the corners so that they’re crisp when you turn your pillow right side out

  4. 4

    Turn your pillow right side out
    Stuff your pillow form inside
    Pin the opening closed
    Hand stitch the opening together and you’re done!
