Steps

  • Step 1

    Pictures are a great way to capture good times. Making art together-at a sleepover, at camp, or as a gift-is another way to remember your fun. Good times go together with creating artwork! From toddlers' scribbles to teens' cool lettering, everyone can make Pillowcase Patterns.

  • Step 2

    Cover your art area with newspaper. Put white paper inside a plain, light-colored pillowcase so you can decorate both sides. Smooth out the fabric.

  • Step 3

    Draw colorful pictures, words, and designs with Crayola® Fabric Markers. You could show hobbies, caricatures of friends, favorite places, team mascots, geometric designs-whatever you like! Crayola® Fabric Markers stain clothing and surfaces, CLOSE ADULT SUPERVISION IS REQUIRED.

  • Step 4

    If you're making Pillowcase Patterns with a group, you could sign each other's pillowcases. Write friendly messages to each person.

  • Step 5

    To set the marker colors, ask an adult to put the pillowcase in a dryer on the hottest setting for 30 minutes. Or ask an adult to set an iron on cotton and iron the reverse side back and forth for 4 minutes.

  • Step 6

    Whenever you have sweet dreams, thank your friends' good vibes!
