HOW TO MAKE A CUSTOM BAND PILLOWCASE FOR YOUR BEDROOM
SUPPLIES YOU NEED
- blank pillowcase
- fabric paint
- sponge or brush
- newspaper/cardboard
- tape/scissors
- craft knife
- cutting mat
- iron
INSTRUCTIONS TO MAKE YOUR OWN BAND PILLOWCASE
- Buy a blank pillowcase, I bought one for $4 from a dept store.
- Go and download your band's font that is used in their logo. I used the One Direction font which was free like most fonts are.
- In an art program (I used Photoshop) type out your phrase with your new band font
I used these Phrases for my pillowcase, but you can use any words or phrases you want
ONE BAND
ONE DREAM
ONE DIRECTION
- Figure out what size you would like the words to be printed on your pillow and print out A4 size. I just used cardboard but you could use freezer paper.
- Once printed, you then cut out each letter with your craft knife on your cutting mat, be careful not to cut off any fingers.
- Cut each A4 sheet to fit neatly on the pillow. Make sure you get the spacing correct and straight. Stick down with tape to stay in place if using the cardboard. Also, stick down the inner letter pieces
- Insert cardboard or thick layers of newspaper inside the pillowcase so the fabric paint does not bleed to the other side of the pillow.
- Start dabbing the fabric paint on the stencil being careful to stay within the letters.
- When you are putting the paint on, hold down the stencil firmly with the opposite hand.
- Once completed, carefully pull off each piece of stencil before it dries
- Place out in the sun to dry.
- Once dry iron on high heat to set the fabric paint and wash.
