Make a Pottery Barn Pillow Knock-off Pumpkin pillow painted with ilovetcreate fabric paint and pillow cover with a Poly-fil pillow insert DIY and save money. I love Pottery Barn and I love their style. I have quite a few pieces from them in my home. But there are many things that I can make for myself that are inspired by them. This painted pillow was one of them.
I found my inspiration for the pumpkin pillow on a post by my friend Keri Lee. She added a little challenge at the end of the post so I decided to take her up on this one. Especially since I keep fabric paint on hand in my craft room. Fabric painting is something I like to do to enhance my fabric projects. I just opened a new set and snapped a picture so you could see the packing. I also picked up a half dozen of the pillow covers at Michael’s a few weeks ago when they were 60% off. The most I paid was $2.67. I thought I could dec orate them for every season and reuse my pillow insert for them and it would take up a lot less room. I can swap out the pillow covers to suite my mood. Also if you like the vase, I will have a tutorial on that tomorrow.
Make the farmhouse vase in the picture above.

This is my “rough” sketch of the pillow
I painted from the outside in and then filled the stem and leaves in.
I went back and added highlights to the painting. If you like how the pillow turned out let me know. I think it looks similar to the inspiration piece. Colors are not exactly the same but I still like it.
And this is the pillow from Pottery Barn.
I actually prefer your version! The colors are so much prettier! Great job!
This is gorgeous! I like your vibrant colors better!!
What a pretty pillow! I never thought of painting a pillowcase. Thanks for sharing on #throwbackthursdaylinkup
You did a great job!! Did you paint the whole pillow (including the background)? Thanks for sharing and linking up at #throwbackthursdaylinkup
The pillow base was cream in color. The only thing painted was the pumpkin.
LOVE your Pumpkin Pillow 🙂 And, in my opinion. your’s is so much better than Pottery Barn’s version! I’m so pinning this… Thank you for joining our #PinUP Pin Party 🙂 Hope to see you again this week, there’s a new one every Friday!
I like your hack even better than the original. Nice job.
Thanks. I think I might too. giggle.
