Digital photo craft project for kids are fun for kids of all ages. I love making these simple Family Pet pillow covers out of Fabric pieces and Digital Photo Iron Transfer Paper. The kids can use digital photos of their dog or cat and print them onto photo transfer paper.

Digital Photos of your Family Pet and Fabric Pieces Make an Affordable Pillow!

Follow the instructions on your digital photo transfer paper and put your Family Pet photo on a piece of canvas. Close ups of the pet work best.

Another neat look would be to have the pets doing something cute or funny.

Let the kids take photos of the cat or dog all by themselves. Kids are obsessed with digital camera and they are so perfect for this craft project!

You can easily sew great looking Pillow covers out of almost any Family Pet digital photo transferred to canvas.

This is a great way to display digital profile Photos of your cat or dog you have collected over the years!

Now, to Make a Family Pet Pillow Slipcovers Out of Canvas Fabric You Will Need:

2 Squares of Canvas that fit your pillow

Sewing Machine

Matching Thread

Scissors

Pillow or New Pillow Insert

Straight pins

Photo transfer paper

Digital Photo of your Family Pet

Now, I like to simply first turn my Family Pet Fabric face down. You want the good side facing down on the work surface.

Now, insert your pillow onto the Cat or Dog Digital Photo Fabric. Place it so that the Fabric wraps around it comfortably. You can place another piece of fabric on the back or save money with less expensive fabric that won't show as much.

Now, take your straight pins and outline the Family Pet Fabric and back fabric around the pillow insert making sure to pin straight lines on all four sides.

Now, I like to unpin the bottom side and slide the inserted pillow out. This is optional though. It certainly is a lot easier to sew the pillow slipcover from the Family Pet Fabric if there is no pillow inside though.

Now, sew along the top and the two sides with your sewing machine. I recommend starting at the bottom left and working my way to the bottomed right.

Takeaways
  • Now, turn the Cat or Dog Craft Photo Fabric slipcover inside out.
  • Insert your pillow back inside and sew it closed with your sewing machine or by hand.
  • Basically you are finished.
Did You Know?
If you want to sew some embellishments onto the Cat or Dog Fabric pillowslip cover I recommend using another piece of a different colored Fabric. You could also use buttons.
