- Sponge pouncer brush

Instructions
- Start by washing your burlap pillow covers then iron them to remove any wrinkles.
- Then insert scrap paper or cardboard into the pillow cover to protect it if any paint seeps through.
- Set aside pillow cover and turn stencil over to the back side. Spray well with a stencil adhesive and allow to dry completely.
- Once dry, press down well into place on your pillow cover.
- Load up your sponge pouncer brush with your outdoor paint. NOTE: You can use an indoor paint or even fabric ink if you are going to be using these pillows inside.
- Then paint over the stencil making sure that all areas are covered with paint. You may have to go over some areas twice.
- Peel back stencil to reveal your design.
- For some stencils, you may want to use a regular paint brush at this point to fill in some of the stencil lines. This is especially true of words or letters.
- Allow to dry completely. Be sure to read the back of any paint that you are using to see if a heat set is required after drying.
- Remove the scrap paper from the inside of the pillow cover and add in an outdoor pillow form.
- These stenciled burlap pillow covers are ready for your porch or patio!
