- Fabric paints (choose your favorite colors)
- Brushes of various sizes
- A palette or dish for mixing colors
- A cup of water (for cleaning brushes)
- Pencil and eraser (for sketching designs)

- Sketch your design lightly with a pencil on the pillowcase. Remember, your design can be as simple or intricate as you like.
3. Prepare Your Workspace:
- Lay down newspaper or a cloth to protect your surface. Insert cardboard or a plastic sheet inside the pillowcase.
- Arrange your paints, brushes, and water cup nearby.
4. Start Painting:
- Begin painting, following your sketch.
- Mix colors on your palette to create unique shades.
- Use different brush sizes for various details and textures.

5. Let it Dry:
- Once you're finished, allow the paint to dry completely.
- Follow any specific fabric paint instructions for setting the paint (like ironing).
6. Flaunt Your Creation:
- Once dry, your hand-painted pillowcase is ready to use!
