Hello everyone! I hope you all have had a wonderful weekend and enjoyed whatever you were doing. LA wasn’t as sunny as I was hoping for, so I’ve been doing some creative things in our apartment instead.
I have seen that many of you have these cute pillows with letters and phrases on them, and I wanted to have something similar. So I went over to Ikea and bought a white linen pillow, and I pimped it up with “Home sweet home” and a cute little star.
I already had letter stencils, so I painted the words that I wanted with acrylic paint ( You take what you have, right? * smile* I’m sure there are better options when it comes to paint… )
I started with the word in the middle, because I wanted it to end up centred. I also put some paper underneath so the paint didn’t go through to the other side of the pillow.
Have you made any pillows like this, or do you prefer to buy them?
I wish you all a great new week!

Så lite som skal til,så enkelt…..og så skjer underverker som dette – puten blir heeeelt annerledes!!! Ekstra kjekt når man har gjort det selv i tillegg:))
Supersmart idé som jeg tenker mange tar til seg:)
Ønsker deg også en herlig uke på alle måter:))))

Hei Nina,
Jeg har vært inne på tanken selv, og nå ser jeg jo at det blir knallfint:) Utrolig hva man kan få ut av en pute, sjablonger og litt maling *hihi*
Fin uke til deg,
*Janne*
Perfect!
Fint og enkelt akkurat slik jeg liker det!
Så sött!!

Easy peasy! I had tried with iron transfer but was disappointed that after a few wash it was all becoming yellowish and ugly… haven’t tried since then…
What a sweet, simple project to personalize a plain pillow. I love all the simple but stylish projects you show on your blog.
Så enkelt og flott!
Har heller ikke funnet noen jeg “må” ha, så kanskje svaret er å lage selv?
Siden jeg ikke har nok prosjekt allerede…hehe.
Ønsker deg en strålende uke!
Klem Nina

Thank you , Corinne! That is very nice of you to say <3
Thanks to all of you for your sweet comment! I’m happy you like my new pillow.
Hugs, Nina
i love it! my ikea pillow turned a bit bally in the washing machine… I was heart broken.. i might try that on some coloured fabric!
I don’t think it is a good idea to put the pillow I made in the washer either.( Water paint!) It’s a cheap pillow, so when it gets dirty I’ll probably just get rid of it 🙂
Utrolig fint! 🙂
I am really looking for ways to make pillows. I have a ton of photos and I would like to use them. From reading here, I guess that it is best to do this on pillow cases or zippered pillow coverings.
LOVE what you did to the pillow. Haven’t thought about that and am definitely to keep it tagged in my head to do one day !!
Du har så mange fine og smarte idèer Nina 🙂
Blir alltid så lysten på å lage ting når jeg ser hva du gjør. Og det er jo ikke avansert heller, så de fleste burde klare det 🙂
Stå på 🙂
Klem Tove Mette
Utrolig kult! Takk for fantastisk tips – tror til og med jeg skal klare å få til dette…
I love it! I’ll have to try it asap! Thanks for the tip!
Hey, what a fantastic idea.
I love Ikea pillows and cushions.
I must try it, adding inspirational words and ensuring, I use the correct type of paint for the fabric, I select.
Thank you so much.
hahah, pimp my pillow, that would make a great show title and idea.
Very nice project though.
Awesome idea on the stencils I think this can also be used to personalize some gifts.
It’s not falling apart, it’s getting bigger by the day, but the fragmentation is all about how people access it.
But ohhh, times are changing again!
I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. Thanks for this wonderful post. I hope to see more posts in the future.
Can you remember where you bought your stencils from?
I think I bought then at Michaels: http://www.michaels.com
