Darling DIY: Painted Pillow

Our pillow obsession continues! This painted chevron pillow is made with a simple white pillow form (from Ikea!) and acrylic paint. The chevron pattern was made my taping the negative space with painters tape  (the design obviously isn't perfect but it's quirky so we like it!)- one simple layer of paint is enough for the bold color. On the back we wrote (again with acrylic paint with a thin tip) a cute quote from, we dare you to guess!, Pride and Prejudice! It takes a some patience because the front takes a little time to dry and it can also be a little messy (make sure you put something on the surface before painting!!). But we love our end product! You can be creative with the design and color (we did another one with lime green polka dots, currently in my dorm room at school)! 




 ~Oh, Mr. Darcy!~





~Our pillow love is not complete without our two favorites! Meet Anika's cocker spaniel, Julien Janvier, and Sonali's unicorn, Louis! Yes, they're french! :-) ~
