Check out what I just made for my classroom! As I've been planning my classroom out one thing I really wanted was a reading nook for my kids! I wanted a comfortable area for them to sit and enjoy books, so naturally pillows would do the trick. Well, come to find out, cute pillows can be quite expensive....sooo I planned to make my own. Well, fabric and stuffing happen to be quite expensive as well. So as I was getting frustrated with my pillow search I took a trip to Ikea with my parents. I found all of these pillows for 3.99 each! MUCH cheaper then it would have been to make my own. Their even machine washable!!! I picked out the red and blue to go with my nautical theme, I was unsure of white because of the almost guarantee of it showing a lot of dirt but I figure ill just through it in the wash more often. Then to add for of that nautical flair I added an anchor! Heres what I did:
To make sure my anchor was just right I took a regular old file folder and right at the crease traced out half an anchor, then I cut it out and unfolded it. This created a perfectly even anchor! I then used the stencil to trace out my anchor and with a little acrylic paint POOF! All done!
