How To Make Fruit Stencil Pillow Shams & Pillow Covers

Supplies

These stenciled pillow covers showcase a modern twist on a traditional design. Here we took two different fruit stencil designs, (a positive stencil as seen with the ‘cherry stencil’ and a negative stencil as seen with the ‘lemon, strawberry, raspberry, and pear stencils’) to show the versatile looks that can be created simply and easily with stencils.

Although hand-sewn pillow covers would add a more homemade flair, we used ready-made pillowcases. If not pre-shrunk, make sure to wash, dry and iron the pillow covers before starting your project. Insert a piece of cardboard inside the pillowcase to give yourself a stable workspace.

Acrylic paint works best for these projects – coordinated to match your decor.

The positive stencil in the Cherry Stencil Design measures  6″ x 5.5″

The negative fruit stencils including the Pear Stencil, Raspberry Stencil, Strawberry Stencil, and Lemon Stencil Designs each measure 6″x 6″.
