$49 not being in our budget...a DIY version was a better option for me....
.....starting with $1 white clearance fabric
....tea dye was added to obtain the cream color I wanted (this step can be eliminated if you have the fabric color you like to start with).
...after letting the fabric dry you'll need some waxed freezer paper.
Cut a piece of fabric and freezer paper just slightly smaller than a sheet of your printer paper 8 1/2" X 11". Iron the fabric to the waxed side of the freezer paper.
....adding a little tape @ the top and bottom of the fabric making sure it will not slip while printing.
Print your image onto the fabric, making sure the fabric side is facing down when running it through your printer.(previously I created my text and added a free clip art nest).
....peel the waxed freezer paper off of the fabric....
...add fusible web to the fabric and adhere it to your pillow fabric.Bring out your sewing machine and zigzag stitching around edges followed by sewing the side seams of the pillow.
....stuff the pillow with batting...and sew the opening shut.
....I made two of these pillows @ a low cost of $1.99 for two pillows :)
...now you can sit back and enjoy your work :)

Thanks for your kind comment Kristin.
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome project! Turned out beautiful and the price -- who can beat that?!
ReplyDeleteWow, that is cool, does the ink run or does the ink run, or can you set it with an iron?
ReplyDeleteThat is so awesome!
ReplyDeleteIt turned out so great!
The ink didn't run and I set it with an iron.
ReplyDeleteLLLLLOOOOOOOOVVVVVVEEEE it! (That me singing)
ReplyDeleteI may have to give this a try....a pillow in every room of the house!!

What a creative project! And it turned out so well....great job!
ReplyDeleteWhere did you get your graphic for this project? Was it a free download? I love it!
ReplyDeleteI used microsoft works for the lettering and I used a free download for the nest.
ReplyDeleteWow never knew you could use freezer paper to do that, such a great tip. The pillows turned out wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI love this! What kind of printer did you use? Inkjet or laser?
ReplyDeleteI used an inkjet printer.
ReplyDeleteYou did an awesome job! Thanks so much for linking up!

What a great idea. Love the pillows.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Love the 'look for less'!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pillows! I love anything with birds and nest. Great job.
ReplyDeleteabsolutely delightful! ...well done with so much charm! Hope to see you back at my place again. Oh.. I keep forgetting to tell tou that I'm married to the Minister of Music of our local First Baptist Church... which also happens to be the very church that I grew up in. I guess that kinda makes us sistas, doesn't it? big hug...
ReplyDeleteFantastic job!!! Love those!
ReplyDeleteI love your blog! I've drooling over the nest pillow over at Pottery Barn, but can't afford the huge price tag. I think your version is so much better. Can you tell me the name of the site where you found the bird nest? I'd love to make two. One for my sweet cousin and one for me. Thank you so much.
ReplyDeleteHi, I'm over from tatertots and jello party. I'm a huge PB fan, but they are NOT in our budget either =) You did such a great job and I think yours turned out much better. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThis is brilliant - inkjet transfer paper is sooo expensive, and I'm always afraid I'm going to make a mistake and waste it. Thanks so much.

Thank you so much for posting this, I am thrilled that the fabric went thru my computer.
ReplyDeleteThese are adorable! Thanks so much for the great tutorial. :) What great pillows!
ReplyDeleteThis is a frugal way to create a great look. I've been saying I was going to do this for months, but seeing your project has inspired me to get up and do it NOW. Gotta use that Joann Fabrics 40% off coupon sometime! No time like the present.
ReplyDeleteThanks.

I've wondered how that is done and now I know! Great job! very cute!

ReplyDeleteAbsolute genius! I've had nothing but grief with transfer sheets, so this is definitely going to be on my list of things to do.
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job of imitating the pillow. In fact, I like yours better! :)
I love the nest graphic, and I think I have it in my files. Did yours come from the site called Draw Fluffy?
Beautiful! I can't wait to try it.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful!! very nice job. I love anything with birds and nests on them.
