…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!
wow, i would love to use these with my boys to create something for their bed.. I can see one of them spending hours drawing his own train bedding, rather than asking me to make him more. How much fun!?
I haven’t tried these markers yet. What a clever idea to let your little one decorate their pillow case. I bet it might make going to bed a little easier at night! Thanks for the chance to win!!
These are great! I would love to try these with my toddler…the possibilities are endless!!
My toddler is into all things marker related and would love these! Plus, we’re decorating her room for her new “big girl bed” so this would be a fun project.
I’ve been wanting some fabric markers for my nephew lately! He always wants to make something when he’s here and he would love to decorate his own shirts.
Awesome idea, my little girl would have so much fun doing that!!
I would love to win a set of these. I am making pillowcases for my dd volleyball team with ribbons sewed in team colors. I was trying to think of a way to write the girls names without using paint pens (oh so messy for me!) Thanks for the chance. CindyML
My little artist will love this!
I’ve seen fabric paint — which we’ve found to be pretty gloppy — but never fabric markers. Cool!
My art loving kids would really love this!
How neat! I’ve always wanted to try fabric markers.
I would LOVE to win these!
What a great idea! My girly-girl would LOVE to do this!
how fun!!!!! those are so neat!
Off to buy those markers…..will wait until Wed to see if I win first!
