Over on The Weathered Fox blog you can find our tutorial for a simple leaf-stamped technique to make custom outdoor pillow covers. You can really use any type of leaf that has an interesting shape for this DIY idea. We used lupine leaves in a few different sizes to get a cascading effect on the pillow.

  1. I believe you can never have enough throw pillows! These are great suggestions for adding a bit of flare to an otherwise plain pillow!!

  2. I just saw this, so sweet to include my pillow. I was coming up with new ideas for cushion covers and saw that you included mine.
