New cushions, which are self-painted with exotic leaves, transform the home into a small oasis of well-being . The design with Fabric paint succeeds in a short time, due to the iron-on fixing the cushions are even washable afterwards!

Preparation

Freshly bought Cotton pillow are often provided with a finish. To ensure that the Fabric paint will hold well on the pillowcases later, wash them thoroughly with cold water before painting.

Download the motif template and print it out. Place the template in the cushion cover and transfer the individual motifs. Use the Strich-Ex pen to draw the contours of the tropical leaves and the cactus on the white cushions. This pen has the advantage that the purple Ink disappears after some time without leaving any residue.

For painting we recommend to put a foil into the cushion cover as protection before. This prevents the paint from seeping through to the back of the cushion cover.

Painting

The marked leaves and cactus are painted with dark green paint. To paint "light" on the motifs, the second step is to paint with light green paint. If the dark green colour is still moist, only will result in delicate, softly merging brightenings. On the dry dark colour the light colour will rather cover

To create a design you can also use real leaves or palm fronds as stamps. In the idea, a palm frond was painted with paint for a cushion and "stamped" on the cover.

Small corrections to the green and the contours of the leaf stalks are best done with a Fabric painting pen in black or green.

Light & Shadow

Through the play of light green and dark green colours, each leaf gets a natural look.

Experiment naturally

Dare to use a real palm leaf as a stamp: brush with paint and stamp carefully with the leaf.
