I fell in love with this duvet cover as soon as I saw it over on IHeart Organizing. Turns out, Jen from A Thousand Words created it from her son’s, artwork!

I’m going to give you the basic rundown of what she did, but be sure to visit her blog for the real step-by-step!

First, Jen collected Daniel’s drawings and scanned them into the computer.

(BTW, these are Pokémon that Daniel invented, how awesome!)

Jen cleaned them up on the computer. See her blog for details on this.

She then printed them out much bigger than the originals.

And traced them onto the duvet cover with a fabric pen.

And traced…

and traced…

and traced some more…

and in the end, I think it was totally worth it! This is such a cool way to display kids’ art (or your own!) and makes such a neat personal item!

If you have kids and do this for them you probably get 72,000,000 awesome points. That’s how many points I would give my mom, anyhow.

I don’t know if I’m up for doing a whole duvet cover (besides, Daniel’s art is better than mine, and it’s not as cute when you’re 25 and draw stick figures all over your duvet cover), but I’m thinking I’d like to do a coffee cup border on some pillowcases! Maybe draw a spider or two onto Anthony’s pillowcase… Okay, that might be evil of me, but there are some really good possibilities!

Visit Jen!
