Ok back to the project at hand... it was actually pretty easy, I just copied the pic on the paper and the ironed it on. The part that took the longest was pinning the trim around the photo and the pillow. I do wish that I could get the shiny or glossy look off of the photo though so if anyone has any suggestions I'd love to hear them! See this chair? We call it the Mary Tyler Moore chair, white vinyl, with the 60's vibe to it. It's actually Danielles but she's back home for a bit so I found a place for it in the dining room corner. And the pillow fits it perfectly!
Well I guess that's it for now, our campus visit went really well, Hannah had a great time in Chicago and today was a quiet birthday for Cam. We will celebrate as a family when we are all back together. I'm linking this up to Graphics Fairy Brag Monday and The DIY Showoff so stop on by and see what everyone has been up to!
Thanks for stopping by, really, I mean it... Thanks, Theresa xoxo
Adorable!!
ReplyDeleteYour pillow turned out great. I love the bird images posted by Karen. Looks perfect sitting in that little chair. I wonder if we have all those great printing materials around here? I need to look into that. So hard to get good crafting supplies. Have a great week! :) Tammy

I love it, so beautiful! Happy Monday!!
ReplyDeleteThat pillow is so pretty and it looks perfect in that chair. I love the trim and the image you used. I bought some tranfer paper a while ago and I really need to give it a try!
ReplyDeleteGreat job! I have too have some transfer paper just waiting for a project. Thanks for inspiring me to give it a try.
ReplyDeleteI love it!!! What a gorgeous pillow and your "dingy balls" look fabulous!
ReplyDeleteDid you know you can get printable fabric sheets? They have a paper backing and go right into your printer, so no shiny stuff and no reversing.
Thanks so much for linking this adorable pillow up for "Brag Monday"!
You had me laughing picturing you in elephant bell bottoms with the pompoms on the bottom!
ReplyDeleteYour pillow is fabulous. I love the graphic and the pompoms add the perfect finishing touch.

OMG Mary Tyler Moore and Bell Bottoms! How fabulous, great job with the transfer.
ReplyDeleteLove this pillow! I do remember elephant bottom pants! I think I had one pair when I was like 10. I have the same thing with the transfers I used and I don't know if it was because it was not Avery brand. I do want to try that printing on fabric technique, (which I think looks great) and then you don't have that shiny factor.
ReplyDeleteI love your pillow! I love the little pom-poms. They make such a nice touch!
ReplyDeleteYou're very talnted and the pillow is very sweet! I would love to try it. First, I will try the fabric transfer then we'll see!

Hi Theresa, love the pillow. I did find how to not get the sheen on the transfer via flea market trixie, but i think the trick is to remove the transfer whilst still warm to lose the sheen. heres the link if you wanted to take a look (i think the cushion looks fabulous anyway!!) http://www.fleamarkettrixie.com/2010/01/how-to-print-on-burlap.html
