Here they are wrapped up all cute! So much fun!
Freezer paper (about $6 at Wal mart for a huge roll, I was so excited to get it I was hugging the ginormous roll the whole time while shopping. I'm sure my guy thought I was nuts.)
SOFT fabric paint(not puff) I used tulip matte soft fabric paint in Ebony (about $1 Michael's)
Cheapy sponge brush
Matching bows($2.50 clearance WM)
Needle and matching thread
Pillow Cases($6 Walmart/ color: vanilla dream)
Cardboard pieces(to go in between the pillow case, so the paint doesn't leak through to the other side)
Iron
X-acto Knife
Clear stamp ABC set
Printout of Mr. and Mrs.
Masking tape(to mark where the letters go)
I printed out the text and just taped it over the freezer paper. I then cut out the print with an X-acto knife. Now you're freezer paper stencils are ready. Then I ironed the freezer paper stencil, waxy side down, onto the hem of each pillow opening where I wanted them. Make sure you don't fold or crease where the stencil is ironed on, or the stencil might bubble and start to come up.
Gently Paint a coat of fabric paint onto the pillow so as not to get paint under the freezer paper where you don't want it. I painted 2 coats, but it's not necessary. Let COMPLETELY dry before you pull off the f. paper. It was very hard to wait... I was so excited!
Sew on the bow where you want it, and you have an adorable gift!
