Two crafts that I have been trying to squeeze in for months: Freezer paper stenciling and something out of burlap. So when I got these two cool adirondack-style rockers for the front porch, it gave me the perfect opportunity!
I cut the stencils with my Cricut using Winter Woodland for the numbers and Home Decor for the bird and branch and used fabric paint to paint the cushions. The stencils worked so slick; I think I may be hooked for life! There are multitudes of online tutorials, but here is a helpful video specifically using the Cricut. You can also do it with an exacto knife and marker, but the Cricut definitely made it easier.
(Don't mind the empty plant pots -- that part I'm still trying to figure out...)
I love the texture of the burlap for these outdoor cushions. It wouldn't be waterproof, but under my covered porch I'm not worried about the rain getting to it. TFL!

I love burlap. I just covered the seat of a chair with it but something is missing. I think it needs a stencil in the middle. Thanks for sharing the idea...love the pillows.
