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 how 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 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 with pencil. Don’t worry, though, the pencil washes right out.
⭐Pour out two shades of red on one paper plate and two shades of blue on the other.
⭐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 I painted all my stars, 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 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 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!
