potatoe stamp throw pillow

Are you wanting to add a little refresh to your room? I have a little project for you that only takes a couple hours.

 You only need a few supplies

• fabric
• pillow stuffing
• potates
• acrylic paint & textile medium

 Measure and cut your fabric to be 1.5 inches longer & wider than your pillow (allowing for 3/4' seam allowance)

 Mix two parts paint with one part textile medium (this makes the paint soft and flexible)

Lay your fabric out on a flat surface with paper shopping bags underneath.  Dip potatoes into paint and stamp away. I used three different sizes of potato.

 You can even section off the area you want to stamp with masking tape.

 Dry the paint with a blow dryer until it is completely dry.

 For a quick and easy solution use an overlapping flap on the back (overlap the fabric about 4"). You can even use glue-tape for the flap seams instead of sewing them (it has a more minimal look)

 sew your edges and.....

you're finished! Wasn't that so easy. 

Now you'll be wandering around your house to see what rooms could use a refresh with some fun throw pillows.
