DIY: Illustrate a pillow

Summer nights dream


I’ve dreamt of summer this whole winter. I can’t wait for that perfect indian summer where you can just lay out, read a book, and fly a kite. And if you were in Dreamland, you would be accompanied by a jellyfish, dog, and dinosaur! I made this pillow as a gift for my boyfriend’s birthday. My drawings aren’t the best, but I think there's something very endearing about imperfect, kiddish drawings. So let your inhibitions of your drawing ability and your imagination go and illustrate a pillow.

What you'll need:
  • Blank pillowcase- I bought cheap ones from Ikea!
  • Black fabric marker w/ a thin tip- can be found at any craft store. make sure to wash the pillow first, so that the ink will stick on it
  • Colored fabric marker
  • Pencil/ blue washout pencil- for sketching



yours truly,
Valeri
