DIY Pillow Designs with Stencil Downloads

Ready to use Tumble Dye on your home decor? Pillows are a great, inexpensive way to update a room or a piece of furniture, and aren't they fun?

We even have some free downloads if you would like to create your own! For the chevron pattern, click here. For the alphabet pattern, click here.

Supplies:
Canvas or cloth fabric
Tumble dye
Stencils
Paper towels

Cut your fabric into the desired pillow size you would like. We made 12" pillows. Place your stencil (hint: if you use a little spray adhesive on the stencil, it will give you a crisper line). Make sure to block off any areas you don't want dyed. Spray your tumble dye, then immediately blot excess with a paper towel.

After the excess dye is gone, remove your stencil. Tile your stencil to make a continuous pattern, and repeat the steps. If using a paper stencil, you may want to make multiples or let the paper dry in between applications. After the dye is dry, heat set in your dryer for 20 minutes, then sew and stuff!

To create our gray color, we used Charcoal Tumble Dye and diluted it with water. Test concentrations to get the color you would like. Ours is about 10 water: 1 Tumble Dye. The alphabet pillow was made with our Mustard Tumble Dye.

These are so fun and easy to make. Plus, there are so many fun color options to choose from!
