…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!
I can think of so many fun ways to use these fabric markers! Thanks for sparkiing our creativity!
What a fun idea! My girlies would love to do this project. Thanks for sharing!
Oooh! Great birthday party idea! Especially a slumber party!

That would be so much fun!
What a great easy craft! My girls love to decorate “their own” of anything and this would make the best activity for an upcoming birthday….. My 4 year old could have a pillowcase signed by all who love her. Affirmations to sleep on and treasure! Thanks for the idea!
So fun!! my son would LOVE this.
Very clever — I am definitely going to try this with my two, they will love it!
Wow – so fun!!!! Thanks for the chance to win.
Looks like a fun and easy project that the kids will love!
My girls would love this project-perfect for a Sunday afternoon!!
