My kids have all decorated their pillows with fabric paints. We buy small square pillows, made from polished cotton, from one of the big discount shops. First outline the picture that your child has drawn with a waterproof laundry marker, then colour the picture in with fabric paint. You will need to heat set the pillow when it's dry in the tumble-dryer so the pillow will withstand numerous washes and last a lifetime. I have just touched up my daughter's pillow - it's 6 years old and has withstood many a rigorous washing. I have now discovered pillow-slips with zips, which makes the whole process much easier. They are also a great inexpensive gift for very special people who you know will cherish your child's early artwork.

This is a neat idea. The kids must love this ingenious way of keeping their artwork for a long time.
