If you've been around the blogosphere very long, you've seen several versions of monogrammed pillows. I've been wanting to make one for awhile, and when I ordered this chair from Overstock, I knew that the pillow would look great with the chair. I didn't take any pictures as I was working on this project, because I made this pillow the same way I made the Napkins Turned Into No-sew Pillow Cases.
First, I bought two napkins at Burlington for $1 each. Then, I made a stencil from cardstock. Next, I used black fabric paint and a sponge paint brush to stencil the "A" on the pillow. Once the paint was dry, I used no-sew glue and a zipper to form the pillow case. Lastly, I stuffed the pillow case with a pillow that came with the purchase of our sectional and wasn't being used.
This is the finished project. I spent $2 on the napkins, $2 on the zipper and $2 on the fabric paint. Since I already had the no-sew glue, card stock and pillow, this project only cost me $6.

Great job! I am impressed you put a zipper on the napkin pillow. Most people (myself included) would of skipped that part. GREAT job!
