…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.ย She is really into hearts as you can see!ย 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.ย It would be fun to use coloring book pictures as templates also.ย 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.
** Makeย 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- what a great project- thanks for the great idea ๐
We would love to try these out.
That is the neatest idea I’ve seen in a while. So easy, even for little kids. I know what we’re doing after school today! ๐
What a cute idea! I was just thinking what a great craft project this would be for a birthday party/favor.
That is such a neat idea! I know all of my kids would love this one.
I love these. I would love to do this with my daughter. What fun she would have.
WOW! Bella did a fabulous job coloring her hearts! A wonderful idea! What a talented, beautiful niece I have! Sweet dreams on this cute pillowcase! xo
I had never heard of these before. As an adult crafter I would like to try these! If you had children or grandchildren you could have all sorts of fun projects with these.
Great product even better idea! How cute! Definitely going to try these with my budding artist.
I haven’t tried those yet. Sounds like by 6 and 8 year old would have a BLAST!!!
I recently discovered Crayola’s Window Markers, but had no clue they made fabric ones too!
I like how you find obscure Holidays and make them fun for your kids, thank for the great ideas! ๐
I love the pillowcase. I would love to have my 10 and 11 year old girls in class at church make these pillowcases. These markers would be wonderful for that. I didn’t know they had these fabric markers but they will definitely be useful to me.
This is going to make a great craft for this weekend. Thanks for the great idea.
my daughter loves to create and these look wonderful!!! i hope we win!!
Neat markers and what a fun project to do with the kids!
