Mr. and Mrs. Pillows

Knock-off Time {Part 2}
I'm thinking that this week might just be knock-off week! Here is another knock off from Ballard Designs!
I saw these Mr and Mrs pillows and HAD to have them! Pshhhh I was NOT about to pay $59 bucks for these bad boys though! So... I made them!



First I cut my fabric down to size. Then I penciled on the letters.


After that I painted them on with brown paint.


Once the paint was dry I sewed up the pillow. Make sure to leave a hole to put in the stuffing.

 {told you I could use a sewing machine!}

And the finished product!





 Hindsight is 20/20 so I might make another set out of burlap more like the ones from Ballard. What do you think?
