Today for 22 Days of Gratitude I am SO grateful to have a new YES Spaces DIY video up! We have now filmed 8 new videos and will be back to posting once a week – Hooray!
Silhouettes are everywhere right now and I love them. I thought it would be fun to make Thanksgiving silhouette pillows of Pilgrim children. I love the idea of using one side for Thanksgiving and possibly painting Christmas silhouettes on the other side – just flip them over the day after Thanksgiving!
These were very easy to make take a look!
What you need:
Two plain ready made pillows with a light color of your choosing
Black fabric paint or black acrylic paint mixed with fabric medium
A small detail paint brush
A larger paint brush (less than 1″) for filling in the larger spaces
A pencil
A black permanent marker
An image of the silhouette you want to paint onto your pillow – blown up to the correct side
Transfer paper to copy the image onto the pillow
Then I started to paint. I just filled in the spaces with black paint. The beauty of silhouettes is no shading to color mixing – it’s so simple!
I am SO grateful we have a bunch of new projects filmed and lined up for you!
I am grateful for Trevor who edits and produces these videos…I hate to think what they would look like without him.
I am grateful for my fun new pillows, I hate the idea of skipping right over Thanksgiving to Christmas, it’s nice to have something fun for the Holiday.
Happy painting!
