Try it out if you have 5 minutes, some tape, and some paint.

Smooth and press with your hand.. Peel ‘er back!.The pillow cover that I’m working with here is actually the back side of another Halloween themed pillow cover I did about a month ago.

So I made it reversible!.You can see there are some areas where it bled through from the other side when I was doing the first image.If you look at the finished product, you can see I came up with a clever solution for this..

Your image will now appear to be a light grey.You can leave it like this, which looks perfectly nice, or if you want it a little darker, just color it in with a Sharpie!

Don’t forget to place a sheet of paper underneath so the ink doesn’t bleed through!

Just look at that mess I made the first time when I didn’t have the sheet of paper!.Step one: Marry a really talented guy..

Step two: Get him to do it.. Ha!OK, that really is what happened, but there’s a little more to it than that.. With a little bit of basic know-how and a decent saw, you can create all kinds of great looks with really basic materials from your local big box store.

For example, the built-in book cases, which are made mostly from MDF, are trimmed out with basic 1/2″ strips of pine all around the front of the shelves for a more solid and up-to-date look.Very inexpensive, but without that extra bit of trim, they would look cheap and flimsy, no matter how sturdy they are..
