Needlework allows us to experiment as much as we like with the design, using independently selected fabrics and materials.

Create decorative cushions on the sofa with painting

In our article 10 of the best things that you can do for yourself with your own hands, we have already cited a simple method of painting cushions and a method with the effect of ombre. Today, Dekorin introduces you to stunningly stylish pillows that have been painted with ... ice.

What does that require:

• White fabric (for example, cotton or linen);
• Metal grill (can be used from oven);
• A shell or a large container corresponding to the size of the grate;
• Powder dye for fabric;
• Ice cubes;
• Latex gloves.

First of all, the cloth should be thoroughly soaked with water and put on a grate installed over a sink or other available container. The fabric does not need to be spread evenly over the surface of the grate, and even vice versa - it is better to crumple it so that the pattern is not uniform. Do you want to make several pillow cases at the same time? Feel free to dump them into a wet pile! Then the ice is spread over the fabric of the slide and powdered with a dye.

That's all! It remains to wait until the ice completely melts, after which the ready pillowcase for the pillow will have to be thoroughly rinsed in cool water, dried and patted. How do you like the result?
