Using a store-bought pillow cover, a star shaped cookie cutter and acrylic paint, you can make this patriotic star pillow cover in just one afternoon!
I love the way mine turned out, but you can personalize it to fit your home decor.
Materials:
⭐Pre wash your pillow cover to remove any residue from the manufacturer.
⭐Place a piece of newspaper or craft paper inside the pillow cover to keep your paints from bleeding to the backside.
⭐Plan out where you want your stars on the cover – I lightly drew mine on with pencil. Don’t worry thought, the pencil washes right out.
⭐Pour out two different shades of red on one paper plate and two different shades of blue on the other paper plate.
⭐Dip your star cookie cutter into the paint and place it on the pillow cover.
⭐I then filled in my star design painting one half of the star with each tone of blue.
⭐I repeated the process with the red tones as well.
⭐after all my stars were painted, I let them dry for approximately 1-2 hours (depending on how thick I applied the paint).
⭐Taking my fine line marking pen, I loosely drew around each star. I really like how the lines look a little “wonky” around the stars.
And here she is all finished and proudly displayed in my living room! I absolutely LOVE this patriotic star pillow cover, don’t you? Once your paint is dry, it is safe to machine wash and dry without worry. Yay!
