Colorful New Look for Faded Patio Pillows

Colorful New Look for Faded Patio Pillows - before The pillows on my wicker patio couch were dingy and faded. I didn't want to spend a great deal of money on buying Sunbrella fabric for new ones so I went to my local paint store, bought small jars of outside paint, made a simple design, and painted right over the old pillows. I now have a fun new look for my old couch pillows that is weatherproof and has lasted me for several seasons.

Total Time: 3 hours

Yield: 1 pillow for each small jar of paint
