Garage Sale Pillow Covers Stenciled For Fall

I found these 16" x 16" striped pillow covers at a garage sale last weekend for $1.  

They were like new.

I pulled out my Old Sign Stencils pumpkin stencil.  (I cut the stencil in two while stenciling on a chair seat earlier this fall.)

*Old Sign Stencils provided me with complimentary samples. All opinions about these fabulous stencils are my own.

I am going to use the taller pumpkin stencil.

I centered the stencil by the pumpkin and not the stencil's edges (since it had been cut), and taped it on one of the pillow covers with blue painter's tape.  I stuck a piece of cardboard inside the pillow cover to prevent any paint bleed through of the top layer.

I pounced the pumpkin stencil onto the pillow cover using Waverly Inspirations Chalk Paint in Pumpkin, and I stenciled the stem and leaf with Dixie Belle Chalk Finish Paint in Kudzu

I ended up applying two coats of orange paint stenciling to cover the gray stripes better.

I ironed the pillow cover from the backside and from the frontside with parchment paper to set the paint into the fabric. I did not iron directly on the stenciling without parchment paper.

I love the striped pumpkin pillow!

For the other pillow cover, I used a sunflower stencil I found at Michaels.

I pounced on the petals with Dixie Belle Chalk Finish Paint in Daisy.

Again, I stenciled on two coats of paint to cover the stripes.

When I stenciled the small areas around the flower center, I taped the edges of the petals so I wouldn't get an brown paint in the petals.

I chose Dixie Belle Chalk Paint in Coffee Bean for the flower center.

I ironed this pillow cover from the backside and on the frontside with parchment paper too.

I love how this pillow turned out too!
