DIY Stencil Sharpie Pillow

 While decorating our guest bedroom and searching for fun accent pillows, I began to realize that every pillow I loved was way out of my price range. At $50-$100 each, the high end pillows I drooled over just weren't reasonable for my thrift store budget.

So, I decided to make my own.

Since I needed a black and white pillow, I decided the easiest route would be to sew a simple envelope pillow from white canvas material and use a sharpie to draw on my pattern.

This is what I created.

a simple yet bold graphic pillow that pairs perfectly with solid pillows,and is the perfect addition to our simple white bedding.

My original inspiration were the Kravet Windsor Smith Riad Pillows seen here on Etsy.

So, here's how I did it:

First, you'll want to decide what sort of pattern you want to do. As long as it repeats, this diagram will work for any pattern.

I used a plain piece of computer paper, but if you want a sturdier stencil, use cardstock or posterboard.



Next, now that you have your stencil pattern, determine where you want the pattern to repeat on your pillow. Then trace it on.

I wanted a chunky line, so I drew another line inside each shape and colored in between them with the sharpie.

Then, after about an hour of coloring with a Sharpie, you've got a nice pillow that looks store bought!
