DIY Coloring Pillowcase Idea

Hi friends! This is Morena from Morena’s Corner with the perfect summer sleepover craft! This DIY coloring pillowcase idea creates coloring book style pillow covers that kids can color in. It makes a great activity, plus it’s a souvenir kids can take home with them.

Supplies Needed:

•  White pillowcase (1 per guest)
• Heat Transfer Vinyl (HTV)
• Cutting machine (like Cricut or Silhouette)
• Coloring book-style SVG files
• Weeding tool
• Iron or heat press
• Fabric markers
• Pillow Insert

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Pick a Design:

1. Choose a simple SVG file with bold, coloring-book-style outlines. I used the Cute Coconut Free SVG File to turn the cat image into a fun summer scene! I also used some of the items from the Tropical Flower Silhouettes Free File to decorate the background.
2. Cut Your Vinyl: Use your cutting machine to cut the design from black HTV. Weed out any excess vinyl.
3. Apply the Design: Position the vinyl on the pillowcase. Use an iron or heat press to apply according to HTV instructions. Let it cool.
4. Color It In: Give kids fabric markers and let them color their designs. Allow time for the ink to set and dry.
5. Stuff & Enjoy: Add a Pillow Insert to complete the project. Now they’ve got a cozy, colorful souvenir!

This DIY coloring pillowcase idea is perfect for keeping kids entertained while creating something special they can treasure!

XOXO Morena from Morena’s Corner.
