Spray paint your flowers and beads. I stuck the flowers to cardboard with straight pins so they would stay put while I painted them. While they are drying, Cut your fabric to the size/shape you need them. I decided to just make a front for the pillow that could easily be changed out for a brand new look. Sew a seam all the way around. Lay out the flowers in the design you want them. Mark the center of each flower with a black marker or pen so you know where they belong. Hand sew each flower with a bead center to the pillow. Then pin on the front of the existing pillows. DONE!
