Tulip Pastel Watercolor DIY Tassel Pillows - place wax paper inside covers

Step 1:

Before you get started on your project, iron the pillow covers smooth and place wax paper inside to prevent the marker ink from soaking through to the backsides.

Step 2:

 Tulip Pastel Watercolor DIY Tassel Pillows – spray rubbing alcohol

Step 3:

Spray the pillow cover with rubbing alcohol and let dry.

Tulip Pastel Watercolor DIY Tassel Pillows – draw more lines & spray rubbing alcohol

Step 4:

Add more color – this time making much thicker lines randomly on your pillow cover, spray more rubbing alcohol (lightly) immediately after you draw a line, while the ink is still wet. The rubbing alcohol is what makes the color spread, so the more you spray, the more it’ll spread. It will also spread more if the ink is still wet. Keep adding color until you are happy with it! Let dry, then wash.

 Tulip Pastel Watercolor DIY Tassel Pillows – determine trims

Step 5:

Decide the placement of your various trims on your pillow covers and cut to fit.
