freaking awesome pillow diy

i don't have beautiful wood floors or a bazillion dollars

to spend, but i was sick of our bedroom looking poopie.

so here is an idea of something super easy and 

saves you from spending a ton of money.

---

there are prolly a bazillion tutorials out there for this

kind of thing so we'll keep it short and sweet...

1. buy these $3 and something covers from walmart

2. they even have sweet zippers

3. buy this $4 and something paint from hobby lobby

4. cut up old potatoes that you were going to throw away anyways

5. squirt paint onto a paper plate, dip the tater, and make

dirt cheep but friggin awesome pillows

things i learned:

1. i am totally a perfectionist but if you try too hard to make the pattern perfect,

the little mistakes stick out like a sore thumb. so let it looked stamped on purpose.

2. play with the amount of paint on the potato. it all gives different looks.

3. if you want the zippers on the inside and zipped to the bottom so you don't see

them when your bed is made, plan your stamping accordingly.

4. it will bleed to the back so you can put something like cardboard in the middle

to prevent that, but i didn't worry about it.

5. its crazy addicting and i am stamping everything in sight. :)
