Trying to sleep... custom pillow cases

Since Jason's been gone I've found myself falling asleep holding a framed picture of him that usually sits on my nightstand. I thought creating these pillow cases would be a good alternative to save me the bumps and bruises from smacking my head on the frame after I've fallen asleep.

I found a couple of my favorite pictures and quotes

Materials you'll need:

Pillow cases

Iron on Transfers

Pictures

Quotes

Fabric marker

I started by following the directions for the iron-on transfers.
Sorry there are no pictures. I then printed out my quotes (in
reversed) and traced over the backside of the paper in pencil
(your quote will look correct)

Flip your page over after you've traced the quote and center it
on your pillow case. Now trace over the correct side of the paper.
I used an extra fine tip pen. It's a little hard to see but the pencil
will transfer onto the pillow case.

Use your fabric marker to fill in the letters.

Here are my iron-on photos

Still working on a quote for the back of this one

And before I can even try them out my little Nate snuggled up
next to them. He sure misses his best friend. Hurry home Jason!

Wooden Letter Quote

I combined a couple techniques I've found. Trying to decide if I like it...

Thoughts?

I found a quote I liked and bought some wooden letters

I also had a couple of flowers I had doodled

Sorry for the lack of the next few pictures. I grabbed an
extra canvas and mod podged some phone book pages to
the canvas (I have to use the Yellow Pages for something).
I then painted over the phone book in white. Don't worry
about trying to smooth the pages down.

Once my paint dried I went over the canvas with some sandpaper.
The wrinkles of the phone book will ware off.

Glue down your wooden letters

I enlarged my flower doodle

And traced a copy onto the canvas

I then went over the flower with white paint

Almost done!

A little hard to see but I watered down some brown
paint and covered the canvas in small sections. Before
the paint dried I wiped off the excess paint. This will
give it an aged look

All done!
