Guest Project -- Make a PB-inspired Spring Pillow Cover!!

Hey Tatertots & Jello gals.

Its Cheri from

I am a wife and a home schooling Mom--I have 4 great kiddos

Jenn and I have known each other for quite a while. She is always coming up with such creative ideas. She is so perky all of the time--she is like the Mary Poppins of blogland.
It is an honor to be here today.
I worked on a project to show you gals.
The PB NEST pillows are so popular so I decided to put a little twist on my design.
Then after I finished my project I went over looking for something else over at the PB only to find this:
Seriously I had not seen this before I made my design--have I been under a ROCK?

I grabbed some canvas that I had on hand and pressed it all nice and smooth.
{I had 2 pieces plus some extra to rip into strips}
{I grabbed some cotton Osenberg that was a little darker too}

Then I wrote in free hand --with a pencil--right onto one of the pieces of fabric.
I wish I could say I used this font--but it was free hand.

I grabbed my DecoArt paint, fabric medium and dazzling metallics paints.

First--I mixed a little bit of the paint with equal amounts of the fabric medium, mixed it together and then painted the letters
H, m and e. I let it dry and then the next day I mixed a tiny bit of the metallics paint with the fabric medium and went over a few areas to give it a little razzle dazzle, I let it dry.
Once it was dry I pressed over the letters --just as the instructions tell you to do so.
Then I ripped each of the letters apart into even rectangles for each one. I liked the ripped edges.
Then it was time to make the "O".
I ripped a couple strips of the canvas and Onesberg fabrics, plugged in the hot glue gun and started twisting and glueing with tiny dabbs of glue.

Then I glued each of the letters onto the other piece of fabric.

I love it

A new "TWIST" on the NESTING idea

This piece can be hung or finished off as a pillow.
I pulled a wooden egg I have from another project and laid it in the nest--

Come on over to Its So Very Cheri" to put your name into a random draw for this piece.
(it does not come with the egg)
Come check out my fabric tape and chalkboard tape that I made for my tape party.
