So the month of October is admittedly my favorite…
My birthday was last week, Pumpkin Spice lattes are back and Halloween is right around the corner!
Before October even rolled around I already had my Halloween stash out and scattered all over the house! Turns out though, I don’t really have all that much in the way of decorations… Needless to say I was pumped when I received a fun set of Glow in the Dark Puffy Paints via iLoveToCreate to try out!
I don’t know about you, but glow in the dark screams Halloween decorating to me! 😉
Materials Needed for Halloween Puffy Paint Pillow Covers:
- Glow Puffy Paints
- 1 yard of black fabric
- Glow in the dark spider rings
- Glue gun
- Scissors
- Sewing Machine
{If you don’t want to sew your pillow covers, you could easily purchase some pre-made from the craft or department store.}
I always use this tutorial when making simple envelope pillow covers. I made two 16′ pillow covers so I cut and measured my fabric accordingly and pinned the two sides and seems.
Then I sewed the top and bottom edges of my pillow face so I would know where to paint on my Halloween pictures.
For pillow cover #1 I decided on a spiderweb. I used the Gray Glow Puffy Paint to freehand my web. Drawing (in this case Puffy painting) a spider web is fairly easy. Start with several crisscrossing lines, like so…
Then draw paint curved lines between each of your crossed lines… Like so….
For pillow cover #2 I hand wrote the words Happy Halloween using the Orange Glow puffy Paint. Each of my pillow faces were left to dry overnight… The Puffy Paint dries in four hours according to the package, but I wanted to be on the safe side.
Each pillow received a couple of glow in the dark spiders… I just cut the ring part off each spider ring, then hot glued them where I wanted them.
The final step was sewing the sides of my pillow covers closed then flipping them inside out. I stuffed a 16′ pillow inside each one and viola!
Glow in the dark Halloween pillow covers! And more fun Halloween decorations for casa de Kassi!
