We had been struggling with what to give our primary children this year for their birthdays. The first year we gave them their own book of mormon and we decorated scripture bags. Last year for birthdays we gave journals. I happened to be scrolling through sugardoodle and came across this poem about not forgetting your PJS (Prayer, Journal, Scripture..) It was as if we planned it! So instead of doing a bunch or prayer rocks we decided to do Prayer Pillowcases. We took this pile of fabric… (thanks to a joanns super sale!)
Added some time on the sewing machine to make the pillowcases
There are two ways to make these prayer pillowcases
First way to make a pillowcase: stencil
Made a few homemade stencils.
You can print these off and use them as a stencil to cut out your prayer.
Just add a pillow!
Second way to make prayer pillowcases: heat transfer vinyl
You can totally do this with iron on vinyl
Just cut out with vinyl (backwards) …and peel away the extra. (if you need help with heat transfer vinyl than check out my hand holding tutorial) 
Press with iron and peel up and you have cute prayer pillowcases!
Now if only they remember to say their prayers it will be a SUCCESS.

What did you use to make the pink lettering on the pillow? Embroidery? or?

I love this idea! I think I may use it as Christmas gifts for the kids in my Sunday school class!

Would you be willing to post a link to what you used for your stencils. They seem like the perfect size. Or do you remember how big you made them?
They came out great.
