…so we are celebrating with custom pillowcases and made beds (well some of us are — remember I also have teen boys)!
To make our custom pillowcase we used Crayola Fabric Markers
(I found them at Michael’s Arts & Crafts and used a coupon) and a plain white pillowcase.
These markers are great! Bella literally spent hours working on her pillowcase. She is really into hearts as you can see! She asked me to draw a heart shape. The pillowcase was thin enough that I slipped a paper with a heart drawn on it in the middle and she could see it well enough to trace. It would be fun to use coloring book pictures as templates also. A child could easily decorate anyway they like, but if they seem intimidated have them make a drawing first on paper and then they can trace it.
** Make sure you place a piece of cardboard inside the pillowcase to keep the markers from bleeding through to the other side. Read package directions for setting the fabric.**
Really the possibilities are endless for this craft—- slumber party or birthday crafts, gifts, etc.. They could even be further embellished with bits of fabric, trims and embroidery.
Bella loves her new pillowcase!
Where do you buy these? I’ve never seen them before?
These are awesome. I think I might get some (if I don’t win!) and have everyone design onesies at my sisters upcoming baby shower!
So many possibilities with those markers!
These markers are awesome. I didnt know they had them. Such a great idea to do with my kids.
We used fabric crayons for a project once but markers would be so much easier! I can’t wait to try this with my kids!
We’d love to win these! Thanks for the chance.
What fun! The possibilities are endless…
fingers crossed! x
I don’t even have kids of the appropriate age, but I can think of tons of uses for these markers for ME! How fun!
I love those markers, I use them in my summer camp program! It is so much fun for kids to actually get to draw on fabric! HAve a great day. PS I hate making my bed.

Oh what fun we could have with these. I had no idea Crayola made these.
These look like such fun! My 9 year old would love a project like this. The possibilities are endless.
Thanks for sharing!
That looks like such fun! I can imagine my daughter would love to create her own pillowcase!
Yes! Endless ideas coming to mind right now!
