Slip a piece of cardboard inside the pillow form to make sure that paint does not bleed through. I like to loosely sketch my design onto a piece of paper before I begin any project, in order to ensure placement and color combinations.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Using a ruler, draw the stitches onto the pillow form in pencil. Next, using \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/dina-wakley-collection\" target=\"\"\u003eDina Wakley’s new cling stamps\u003c\/a\u003e, stamp Scribbly Birds and Textures onto the pillow form using black permanent ink, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/mixed-media-supplies\/\" target=\"\"\u003egesso\u003c\/a\u003e, and acrylic paint. Allow all ink and paint to dry for a couple hours or, to speed up the process, use a heat-gun until everything is dry to the touch. Thread a needle with scrapper’s floss and add two rows of stitches, following your pencil marks. Apply \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/mixed-media-supplies\/\" target=\"\"\u003egesso\u003c\/a\u003e to a \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/canvas-corp-collection\" target=\"\"\u003esmall burlap\u003c\/a\u003e square, and let dry.
