…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!
Love this idea! And love the Fabric Markers, so many fun possibilities!
Ooooooh…the possibilities!
My kiddos would love these!!!
Oh Wow! My daughter and I would love, love, love these fabric markers.
Thanks,

Oh my, markers for fabric…how fun are those. I guess there are already markers for fabric, but they are not Crayola our favorite brand in this house. My 7 year old and I would love to use these for a sleep over art project. The pillow case coloring is a great idea, thanks.
We would have so much fun with these!
We would love these markers! Thank you so much!
Wow..I didn’t know crayola made fabric markers! Thanks for the giveaway!
Ooooh! I want to do that! 🙂
I didn’t know Crayola made fabric markers! How fun!
I have seen these, but never tried them. It would so much fun to ‘create’ with these!
I am a little wary of what my toddler would do with markers that aren’t supposed to wash out. Then again, we never let her play with markers. It might a cute present for grandparents hand decorated by their favorite little terror.
Those markers are so neat. I’m totally dreaming of all the things I — and *we* — could create with those.
would love to have a set of those markers! So cute 🙂
Yea for fabric markers! More things to color!
I would LOVE to try out those markers! I’ve been thinking of getting some to try.
