College or University Logo Pillow Covers

These simple silk screen printed College or University Logo pillows are an easy way to create some expensive looking custom pillow slip covers on a small budget! These simple College or University Logo silk screen pillows also make a great homemade gift you can easily make for your college student or alumni.

Silk printing is a great way to make a lot of College or University Logo prints on your pillow fabric from one piece of art.

You do need a large open work surface to create College or University Logo silkscreen art, but beyond that, the rest for the materials are generally affordable and easy to find at any art supply store.

To make your Silk Screen Printed Custom College or University Logo Pillow Covers you will need:

Solid colored fabric

Newspaper
Pre Made Silk-screen

Exacto Knife
Squeegee
Vellum
Pencil
Painter's tape
Design
Fabric paint

No Sew (optional)

Sewing Machine (optional)

The first step is to draw the desired Custom College or University Logo design on vellum. You could also transfer your design by placing vellum over the Custom College or University Logo design and tracing it with a pencil. Go online to look for your specific university letters or mascot.

For ease you could print out your College or University Logo initials out on your computer in a pretty font. Print them out to size and trace onto the vellum.

You can easily see through vellum by placing it on a lighted artist tables or even in a window when there is daylight outside to shine through.

I like to use a script or Roman font for College or University Logo. You can complete these designs in one step since there is only one color.

Now, if your Custom College or University Logo silk screen printing pillow cover design is going to have more than one color then you will need to have more than one screen. Basically, you use one silk screen for each color in your college letters.

Tip: Beginners may find it easier to start out only making one color and one silk screen.

Now, Cut out the Custom College or University Logo designs on each piece of vellum with a sharp craft knife. Sort of think of this like creating a stencil.
