Tutorial: Painted canvas floor pouf

Heather at Dragonfly Designs shows how you can make a canvas floor pouf with a hand painted arrow design. I think I might need one (or two, or three) of these for my own living rom! The pouf works as extra seating, or a place to rest your feet when sitting on the couch. The arrow design is modern and While you’re painting fabric, why not do what she did and paint a little extra to make a matching throw pillow? Go to Dragonfly Designs for the tute.
