Sponge Stamp Throw Pillow
  1. Insert paper or cardboard inside your pillow so that the paint does not soak through both sides
  2. Cut your sponge into a half circle (lemon slice shape).
  3. Cut a single small raindrop shape out of the sponge scraps. This will be your lemon seed stamp.
  4. Pour out some Sunbeam onto your plate and dab it with your half circle sponge until the surface of the sponge is saturated.
  5. Press your sponge to the pillow to create the lemon shape. Continue loading and pressing to create the pattern (see image). Allow to dry.
  6. Using Toasted Marshmallow and your small seed stamp, create seeds on a few of the lemon slices and allow to dry.
  7. Repeat on the opposite side if desired.
