Subway Art Pillow

Front
I made this easy subway art pillow and you can too...I purchased iron on numbers from Hobby Lobby. I ironed them on a heavy twill light brown material. I then used my sewing machine to zigzag around each number so it would be secure and add texture. Each number has a soft fuzzy feel. I used brush fringe on the edges in colors of tan, green, and  deep red.
Back
On the back of the pillow, I used coordinating fabric and made an overlap button closure. I think the pillow looks good from either side which makes it a more versatile pillow. The background has a more golden hue than in this picture. Terry

    Thank you again for the idea of painting the air vent. That is something we did at our house now and it really does make all the difference! When can you come and decorate?? lol...are you close to Kansas? ;)
