How to Make Watercolor Designs with Fabric Markers

Step 1:
Before you get started on your project, iron the pillow covers smooth and place wax paper inside to prevent the marker ink from soaking through to the backsides.
Step 2:
Choose your color scheme, then make lines horizontally across the pillow cover(s) using different marker colors.
Step 3:
Spray the pillow cover with rubbing alcohol and let dry.
Step 4:
Add more color – this time making much thicker lines randomly on your pillow cover, spray more rubbing alcohol (lightly) immediately after you draw a line, while the ink is still wet. The rubbing alcohol is what makes the color spread, so the more you spray, the more it’ll spread. It will also spread more if the ink is still wet. Keep adding color until you are happy with it! Let dry, then wash.
Step 5:
Decide the placement of your various trims on your pillow covers and cut to fit.
Step 6:
Glue trims in place with Quick Dry Fabric Fusion and let dry completely.
