Easy DIY Football Pillow Project

Easily make great football pillows with this simple process that uses stencils made out of freezer paper.

Start by finding the silhouette you want to use online. Either print it onto regular paper or save it and put it in your craft cutter software.
To use the Silhouette to cut out your stencil, first, bring your shape into the dashboard. Then click the "trace" button.
Next, click “select trace area” and select the entire shape.
Click “trace,” and you will have an outline of the original image.
Delete the original image from the cutting mat, size the image to fit your pillow, and cut it out of the freezer paper.
After your fabric is cut to the right size (but before you sew it onto the pillow), place your freezer paper stencil shiny side down onto the fabric.
Adhere the stencil to the fabric with the tip of a hot iron.
Paint inside the silhouette with white paint. It may take multiple coats to achieve the look you want.
Let the paint fully dry in between coats.
After you finish painting, pull the freezer paper stencil off the pillow.
