Welcome to the 6th and final video in the Krazy Deal Daze 2017 Falling into Autumn Series! We hope you enjoy this Décor Tour video!! We’re already excited and looking forward to all the fun projects we have planned for next year’s 2018 Falling into Autumn Series, so stay tuned and don’t forget to SUBSCRIBE!!
So I have two BIG projects coming up and I was thinking of using
canvas dropcloth for them. However, I had never worked with it before. I have
also been wanting to make some decorative pillows for the holidays. So I
thought, I'll use the canvas drothcloth for my decorative pillows and
"kill two birds with one stone". I get my pillows and I get to see
what it's like working with the canvas drop cloth! Win, win!! I really love how
the pillows turned out and am planning on making some more for Christmas.
You'll
need:
Canvas Dropcloth, size depends on how many pillows and projects you want to use
it for.
Ink Jet T-Shirt Transfers
Scissors
Iron
Fabric Glue, I used FABRI-TAC
Optional: Velcro if making a deceptive pillow cover.
First
we're going to cut out two 16.5" x 16.5" panels from our dropcloth.
Then
we're going to create our image and print it out on the T-Shirt Transfer paper.
Please follow the instructions included with you transfer paper.
Cut
out your image, leaving a small border all the way around the image per
transfer instructions.
For
the ironing part you need a solid surface that is heat resistant. My current
crafting table is plastic and will melt and warp so I grabbed a scrap piece of
plywood to protect my table.
Cover
your heat resistant surface with a cotton pillowcase and iron out any wrinkles.
Then
lay your canvas panels on top of the pillowcase and iron out any wrinkles and
creases.
Now
we're going to lay our transfer print side down on our freshly ironed canvas
panel.
Next,
cover the back of the transfer with another cotton pillowcase.
Then
Iron transfer per Instructions provided by the manufacturer.
After
ironing, let the transfer cool completely before carefully removing the paper
backing.
Then
flip the canvas panel so that the image is sandwiched in between the two
panels.
Now
fold up a side and run a continuous strip of fabric glue along the edge of
three sides of your canvas panels. Make sure the 4th we're not going to glue
just yet is what will be the bottom of your pillow when completed.
Now
for what will be the bottom; if you’re making a full pillow like I did, you’re
only going to glue the ends of the full opening. Leaving the center (about 5
finger widths apart) unglued. If you are making a decorative pillow cover then
you can glue Velcro strips on.
Once
the glue is dried per instructions on your glue, you’re going to reach your
hand in the unglued opening and turn you pillowcase right side out.
Make
sure to really get the corners pushed out. Voila, you're halfway done with your
new pillow!
Time
to stuff it! Since I'm making a purely decorative pillow that will be in my
outside entryway, I have chosen to stuff mine with plastic store bags because I
have an abundance of them... Mine as well make use of them for more than just
bathroom garbage bags!
Once
you've got your pillow all stuffed you can glue the opening closed.
I
used two binder clips to hold the opening closed until the glue dried.
Once
fully dried, it's time to find its new home in your Fall decor!!
