The How-To Gal shows how she made a pillow pad (a long lounge-y pillow for kids) out of five pillows and a twin sheet. They can spread it out on the floor as a pallet, or fold up some of the sections to make a back support. She was inspired by a similar project she saw on Pinterest. Commenters there suggested making it from five pillowcases, but she used a flat sheet instead. Get the tute.

Freebie: Printable Christmas Eve magic pillowcase poem
With all the excitement and expectation of Santa’s visit, it can be hard for kids to go to sleep on Christmas Eve. Melissa from Polka Dot Chair created special pillowcases for her nephews, to be used only on Christmas Eve. When she gave them to them, she included a little poem explaining that they’re magic pillowcases to help them have sweet dreams. She’s sharing a free printable of the poem on her blog, plus she links to a tutorial she’s written for making a pillowcase, so you can start the tradition with your own kids.

Thanks so much for posting this!! I saw the same pillow case idea on Pinterest, but individual pillow cases can get expensive! I was wondering if I could just fold a twin sheet in half and have it serve the same purpose. Thanks for the tutorial! Now just to get it done before Christmas! 🙂
