stenciled pillows

i've had an itch to be creative 

and decorate our house since we've moved in

i decided to experiment on some pillow cases i made a while ago

that were plain white/cream

first (on the right) i tried taping and painting light lines

but it didn't "go" as well with our living room as i was hoping

then i remembered i have a stencil from a thrift store

that i've wanted to use for a while

so i traced it on to the other pillow case

and the back of the one i'd painted blue lines on

i first used a pencil to trace the stencil

then went over them with a navy blue fabric marker

 here they are on the couch

now just a few more steps and i'll be "done" with our living room
