Hand Painted Cushion Cover

Cushion covers are the coverings used to protect cushions from getting dirty. Cushion covers may be strictly utilitarian or decorative in nature. Decorative cushion covers are instrumental in improving home décor. Decorative cushion covers are available in many materials and styles. Among these, hand painted cushions are very popular. Many people prefer the understated elegance of hand painted cushion covers to other showy cushion covers.

Making Hand Painted Cushion Covers: The basic texture of the cushion cover is made in the same way that any other cushion cover would have been made. The cover is washed, dried and ironed. The desired design is outlined with a pencil or chalk. The colors are filled in and the color is made fast. To fix the color to the fabric, the cushion cover is ironed on the reverse side of the fabric. Many cushion cover makers prefer to use stencils to draw the designs, rather than draw the design in free hand. Using stencils give a neater finish to the completed drawing.

Custom Made Hand Painted Cushion Cover:
Custom made hand painted cushion covers are expensive. In spite of that people prefer custom made covers because they can choose their own designs and the designs on the cushion covers are unique and original. The finished product is one of a kind.Hand painted cushion covers are brightly colored with colorful patterns. They brighten up the look of any room instantly. Hand painted cushion covers should be treated carefully. Too much washing can lead to the paint developing cracks. Hand painted cushion covers can even be made at home. With a little practice, the homemade covers look as good as factory produced ones provided the drawing of the pattern outline is done properly. Hand painted covers can be combined with other embellishments to make the cover look better and fancier.
