Updated Mar 30, 2017

Try making this DIY family silhouette pillowcase for a Mother’s Day craft idea! You can either sew your own pillowcase or scour home decor stores like Ikea for simple and inexpensive cases to paint. Remember, you don't have to use a white pillowcase. If you're worried about grubby hands try another light colour, just make sure you can see your silhouette stencils through the fabric for tracing.
Materials:

- white pillowcase
- silhouette template
- scrap cardboard
- pencil
- paintbrush
- black fabric paint
Directions:
- Start with a plain, white pillowcase. Place the silhouettes inside the case with a piece of flat cardboard behind.
- Trace the silhouettes onto the pillowcase using a pencil.
- Paint the inside of the silhouettes black, and let dry overnight.
Ta-da!
