…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!
I am always looking for fun projects when my granddaughters spend the night. This would be so perfect. They could be their own personal Grandma’s House pillowcases!
What a neat idea. My grandchildren would love doing this (I know I would too!!) as part of a sleepover party.

Oh how my girls would love this…I actually had to make my hallway the
group chalk board…we painted the wall 4 ft up from the floor (mostly to already cover the decorations the kids already placed there) LOL !!
My 6 year olds birthday is coming up, what a great idea for the girls to do, color their own pillow case to take home, what a memory for them and my daughter…Thank you so much…

My three boys would have so much fun with these on one of those days when they’re “bored” and I need to pull out a new idea. It would be fantastic! I love the idea of using coloring book pages to trace shapes. Superheroes are all the rage currently in our house!
My kids would love to use these on shirts and all kinds of things! I’d love to try them out too!
That is such an awesome idea. My kids would go gaga over these things!!
I am so in love with your blog!!! Thank-you so very much!!! I have a grand daughter thatwould LOVE these markers!!!
Many Blessings~Judy
Fantastic! I have never used fabric markers, but would like to try. I just purchased a stamp pad and small letters to try stamping on clothes. I’m spreading my wings of creativity lately!! These would really help!
These markers look like fun!
This will be great for those “I’m bored”! days. And also I can see using these markers in my quilting. Oh the wheels are starting to turn!
That looks like so much fun. I’d love a set of fabric markers to play with!
The fabric markers look like a lot of fun. We could make so many different thing with them.
These fabric markers look so fun and bright. My kids would love to try this out. You could use these to personalize gifts. The wheel in my head are turning.
Oh my kids would love this! My 7th grade son came hoem today saying everyone was supposed to wear a football jersey to school on Monday and he asked if we could make one. What?! Where would I buy holey football jersey fabric? Now I know we can buy the markers and color our own!
