LAST-MINUTE HOMEMADE GIFT IDEA: SPARKLY PILLOWCASE
Here's an easy project from Girls' Life you can do in case you're still looking for a last-minute gift. It's a personalized pillowcase with sparkly lettering.
These sell for almost $30 at Pottery Barn Teen, but you can make your own with a pillowcasesequins, and either thread or a hot glue gun. To make a closer copy of the PB Teen ones, use a square pillow case. Or if you want something different, you can replace the pillowcase with a canvas bag or a tee.
Here are the steps:
  1. Sketch out the design you want on your fabric. You could use cute things like "XO", intials, song lyrics, or phrases - it's totally up to you!
  2. Attach the sequins, either by sewing or using a hot glue gun. Try to make them overlap so you don't end up with space between them.
  3. Either tie off the thread or wait for the glue to dry.
  4. Wrap your personalized gift!
Easy, right? Are any of you Wambie girls going to try it out?
