HALLOWEEN PILLOW COVERS WITH MARABU TEXTIL PAINTER GLITTER.

Before painting, wash the pillowcases once without fabric softener to remove the finish. Let the pillowcases dry, then iron them. Cover your work area and prepare your materials.

Sketch the desired design with a pencil.

Orange pillowcase: Lightly sketch the words “HAPPY Halloween”—“HAPPY” in block letters, “Halloween” in cursive.

Nature Pillowcase: Scatter several ghost figures of various sizes and poses across the entire surface of the pillow and sketch them out—each ghost can have its own facial expression!

Slide a piece of cardboard or a piece of sturdy paper into the pillowcase to prevent the ink from bleeding through to the back.

Shake the Textil Painter vigorously before first use until you can clearly hear the mixing balls rattling. Then remove the cap and gently press the tip onto a neutral surface (e.g., paper) a few times until the ink appears. Test it on the paper and then…

Orange pillowcase: Use the black Textil Painter Glitter to trace the word “HAPPY” in even block letters. For “Halloween,” trace over the letters in a loose cursive style. Use the silver Painter to add a shadow and a small pumpkin as an accent next to the lettering.

Natural Pillowcase: Trace the outlines of the ghosts and faces, alternating between the different color variations (black, silver, gold), and let them dry thoroughly.

Cover the dried pillowcase with a pressing cloth or dish towel and iron it on a medium setting (cotton, no steam) for about 2–3 minutes from the back or through the cloth. Alternatively, set the colors by baking the pillowcases in the oven at 150°C for 8 minutes. Once set, the colors are wash-fast up to 40°C.
