"Here&amp;#039;s a fool-the-eye update for basic outdoor pillows: Paint them to mimic more design-minded chair backs. Using either premade outdoor pillows (or creating your own out of outdoor-grade fabric), here&amp;#039;s the how-to. You&amp;#039;ll need:  Fabric paint  Freezer paper  X-Acto knife  Pencil  Painter&amp;#039;s tape  Iron  Outdoor pillow cover (or outdoor fabric)  1. . Note: We&amp;#039;ve divided the designs over multiple sheets of standard letter-size paper to be aligned and traced onto freezer paper at least 15 inches wide. If you&amp;#039;d like a larger design, enlarge the printouts (on a photocopier) to fit a wider-size roll of paper. 2. Tape templates onto the shiny side of your freezer paper (so the design is visible when looking at the paper side). Trace your designs. Remove the paper stencil. 3. Use an X-Acto knife to carefully cut out the template shape. 4. Take your premade pillow cover or desired fabric and, using a dry setting, iron on the freezer paper, shiny side facing down. Smooth the iron over each section until the stencil completely adheres to the fabric. 5. Use fabric paint and a spouncer (stenciling brush) or sponge to fill in the exposed areas with paint. Remember: Stenciling is a dry-brush technique, so you need very little paint. For best results, remove excess paint by dabbing the brush onto a folded paper towel. Work slowly and methodically, gently tapping the paint onto the stencil with an up-and-down tamping motion. Each time you add more paint, pretamp the brush onto paper towels to remove excess paint. 6. Let dry overnight; remove stencil. 7. If needed, sew your two squares together to make a pillow.
