A dropcloth and a sharpie pen...each one by itself is practical and ho-hum.
However, marry the two and you get something pretty fabulous in home decor
{cheap too}
Yes, you can make some pretty cool pillows and you don't even need a printer, transfer paper, or citra-solv.
Just a sharpie marker and your imagination.
The sky is the limit!
I took the existing throw pillows on my sofa that I had made last year with a dropcloth and I simply flipped them over to the blank side.
I whipped out my sharpie and drew on them - gasp! Yes, I drew on my pillow covers with a black permanent marker!
Now I have some cool Halloween inspired pillows that I will just flip back over at Christmas time. The other side is a red striped faux grain sack.
Thanks for visiting and happy Wednesday!
