Continuing the week of all things fantastically Pottery Barnesque, enter the lovely outdoor bodyroll striped beauties.

Now.
I love stripes like the next girl
and those "my hubby is gone, I need something to spoon" pillows
well.
they rock.

So when I walked into the Burien Salvation Army and I spied this

Body Roll Pillow

You know I near about knocked a poor child over scrambling over to pick this bad boy up.

The best part of this super easy project was that there were already lines stitched into the pillow.
I thought for half a second to use a fabric solution with my paint
or to unzip and remove the pillow form

I did neither of those
and still love how it turned out

Soon as I get more ink for my printer, I'm going to cut out some fantastic stencil numbers
to do up the ends of the pillow.

For now,
here's the step by step

Choose your paint

Vast choices of yellow narrowed to 3

Not like I wanted people laying their
icky heads on THIS pillow anyhow

Tape off some thin stripes
and of course some thick stripes
mix it up to give it your own flavor
