Bird Pillow for Christmas and Beyond

I found this cute bird graphic the other day.  I love, love, love anything with birds on it and love that I can incorporate it with my Christmas decorations.  Of course I intend to keep it out long after Christmas!






 
 
I started with this graphic from The Graphics Fairy
 
 
I printed it off on Jolee's Easy Image Transfer Sheets using my inkjet printer.
 




I cut around the edges.
 
 
I used a Ritva pillow cover that I bought from Ikea last year. 


I put the pillow cover over a board and a pillow case.
 
 
 
I followed the directions on the Jolee's label--twenty seconds on each part, lift up carefully, then set the iron back on another place.  I made sure I got each area several times for 20 seconds each.

 
 
I let it cool for 10 minutes, then carefully pulled the backing off of the transfer.
 
And here's the finished pillow.  Easy and Festive!





 
 
Thanks for your visit!

  3. Oh! You did a super job.
    Like the tutorial too. I always like it when the poster takes the time to show a specific product or tool they use in its original packaging.
    I've contemplated doing some sort of transfer work for a while, but never thought I'd really be able to pull it off. Thanks for sharing this.
