Mod-podge Heaven: Instapillow

Sometimes, being a DIY blogger is the most awesomest thing in the world. One of those times is now, because I received package stuffed with brand spankin' new Mod-podge products. If this blog is any indicator (and it is)  I go through Mod-podge like water. It is one of the best crafting tools in my very messy supplies closet. 

Look at all these goodies!

Pretty sure I salivated like a puppy waiting for food when I unpacked all this goodness.

I am most excited about the photo-to-fabric transfer medium. With all the cool iPhone photography apps, I have tons of fly photos in my archive that I want to display. I decided to take one of my instagram pictures and transfer it onto a pillow.

Hence, the post title: INSTAPILLOW!

The transfer medium was unbelievably easy to use and worked like a dream. Kudos Mod-podge. Kudos. 

Supplies:

1. Mod-podge photo transfer medium. 

2. Print out of a photograph. 

3. Pillow from Bed, Bath & Beyond. 

Step 1:

1. Cover the print out with a thick layer of transfer medium. Don't be frugal, you want the medium to be think enough so that you can no longer see the photo under it. 

Step 2:

Place the photo face down on the pillow in your desired position. Press down to make sure the whole surface of the photo is in contact with the fabric. 

Step 3:

Let dry for 24 hours. 

Step 4:

Use a soaking wet washcloth to remove the paper from the pillow. 

MAGIC.

(or maybe science)

Snaps for apartment crafting. 

I have to say, I'm super impressed at the quality of the transfer. I chose a very vivid image and the colors remained bright. I think I might embellish this pillow a bit with embroidery floss or notions. Ya digggg? 

All of the rad Mod-podge products I received are available at Michael's stores. Make sure to follow Plaid on Pinterest, Twitter, and Facebook for crafty tidbits.
