Painted Chandelier Pillow


This is my second freezer paper pillow, which was much more time consuming, but not difficult. I copied the chandelier design onto freezer paper and then very carefully cut out the design. This was the most difficult part, trying not to cut anything off. I ironed the freezer paper right onto my square of white fabric. I used a foam brush to fill in the design with black acrylic paint and carefully peeled off the paper so as not to get paint all over the pillow. I then finished the pillow normally with stuffing and stitched the opening closed. This was a really fun project. I love this freezer paper method, you can transfer just about any image this way and make a unique item for your decor.

  1. What a great idea! I purchased some freezer paper to do some applique and haven't played with it yet - I will have to play with making it a stencil!

  3. My husband refuses to let me place one of these chandeliers on the walls in the house - well, he can not say "no" to a pillow! Thanks for the great idea!

  4. Hi, stopping by from Freckled Laundry's link party. Your pillow is so pretty! I have the freezer paper and I can sew, but funny enough I am afraid of trying this method.
