I saw this tutorial over at k.f.d. designs and knew it would be perfect for the guest bedroom! Check out her post for the full tutorial and I will give my two cents here :)
I started by tracing my monogram straight from the computer screen onto paper.
Then used spray glue to attach the paper to the felt. {which really is genius by the way... this way you don't have to trace and leave marks, etc} Then just cut those babies out!
Annnd this is where my two cents comes in. Don't use too much spray glue or you will end up with this when the paper comes off... A little goes a long way here.
After round 2 we have this... much better!
Then a little hot glue and voila! A custom monogrammed pillow!
Did you see the new striped pillows, too? I ordered a couple from West Elm and love the way it looks! A nice way to add the pattern and color without buying the full sheet set. {I will just use white sheets}
And yes, I do still realize it is just a box spring on the bed. I promise we are taking care of this soon! Probably even tonight!!
Cute! I love the ruffly pillow and the monogram makes it look extra special. Also, love that you revealed your "blooper" - one of my favorite part about blogs: showing and seeing the not so perfect side of life.
