One of my best friends got married back in June and as her bridesmaid i wanted to give her a special keep-sake gift which was original and unique to her. I thought personalised "Mr & Mrs" cushions with their wedding date would be a nice touch.
What you will need:
- textile marker (i bought the edding 4500 from Amazon)
-Tracing Paper
- Cardboard or any sturdy object
- linen/cotton pillow cover
- stencils or printed letters of your choice
-iron
First draw over the printed stencils with the tracing paper over the top using the fabric marker to make it stand out.
Put the tracing paper on sturdy cardboard and position it under the pillow cover for a hard surface to lean on. I bought linen covers from EBAY and at first i used a DVD, but the case was too dark and i couldn't see the outline properly so i switched to white cardboard.
Carefully draw the outline of the letters and numbers first and later colour them in. To fix the letters so they won't smudge iron over them without the steam function.
Voila! it's really that simple!
