Painted Rectangles Pillow
What You Need
- Painter's tape
- Latex paints: sage green, blue, indigo, lavender, and antique white
- Sea sponge
- Paint tray
- Microsuede fabric
- On the right side of the microsuede, use painter's tape to mark off the rectangle pattern.
- Load a clean, dry sea sponge with the lavender paint, pressing any excess paint back onto the paint tray.
- Dab on the paint inside the center-most rectangle. While the paint is still wet, dab a light mix of lavender plus antique white on top of the darker shade to create the subtle sponge pattern shown.
- Repeat steps 2 and 3 on the next-largest rectangle using two shades of blue paint.
- Repeat step 2 and 3 again on the outermost rectangle, using two shades of sage green paint. Allow the pillow cloth to dry thoroughly before sewing it together, at least 24 hours.
