Instructions:

1. Lay pillowcase flat on protected work area. Arrange letters in the center of the pillowcase in an arch. Arrange stars and moon in desired design.

2. Carefully pick up each foam piece and spray the back lightly with spray glue, place in position.

3. With your finger tips, lightly "scrunch" pillowcase to make large wrinkles, be careful to keep name area flat and straight.

4. Following manufacturer's instructions, shake cans of Simply Spray and tear tabs. For best results, in one motion, begin spraying onto a paper towel in your free hand then continue onto your pillowcase. End spraying onto paper towel. This will minimize splatter on project.

5. Using a diagonal motion, alternate colors in a striped effect. Begin by using Deep Purple across the top left corner in a wide stripe. Then make a wide stripe of Blue Jay. Continue alternating Deep Purple and Blue Jay until exposed area is covered.

6. Lay pillowcase flat and use Lilac and Sky Blue to lightly cover exposed areas. Use Lilac over the Deep Purple and Sky Blue over Blue Jay.

7. Blot off excess paint from the foam pieces with a paper towel.   Carefully lift each foam piece off pillowcase. Hang or lay flat to dry. Wait 72 hours before washing. Turn inside out when washing; do not use fabric softener.
