Peel the backing paper off the sticky label paper and really smooth the fabric over the sticky side (figure A).
Tip: You need to use a tightly woven linen fabric for this project.
Trim the paper down to the paper's edge.
Copy the image onto the fabric.
Note: The paper stiffens the fabric so that it can be fed through a copy machine.
Cut the image down to a square using pinking shears.
Peel the sticky backing paper off the fabric.
Sew small beads onto the image (figure B).
Tip: You can place your beads onto a damp washcloth to prevent them from rolling around.
Sew a bow and a rhinestone onto the image.
Glue trim around the border of the square (figure C).
Sew a button onto each corner.
Note: For added strength, you can sew the trim and buttons on.
Glue the decoration onto the pillow by gluing just the edges with Fabri-Tac.
