Pottery Barn Inspired Christmas Tree Pillow

I have another knock off today from the Pottery Barn Christmas pillow and the cost is $29.50 but my cost was only $1.00. I had all the supplies on hand and all I needed was green paint.

I started out making an envelope pillow just like the one I made here. Before I assemble the fabric pieces together, I went ahead and took an 8 1/2 x 11 piece of freezer paper, a black sharpie and made a christmas tree. Then I ironed it on my white fabric and now I am ready to paint.
Here is the finished product and I love how it turned out. What's great about painting, is the more you layer the better the painting looks. I just kept adding layers to this Christmas tree and I love how it turned out. 

Here are both of my Pottery Barn inspired pillows and I just love how they turned out and all I spent was $1 for both. My snowman pillow you can see here. Who wouldn't love that! I have received a lot of queations about how to make these pillows and I am actually going to be doing a how-to video class in a couple of weeks. I am so excited and I hope you will sign up to join me live for this tutorial. More information will be coming out soon so you can sign up.
 Happy you stopped by! Have a great weekend!

Hugs,

Vanessa
