Embroidered animal ear pillows give you cute ears at bedtime!
I love animal ears, so when Sublime Stitching sent me one of their new transfer pens and some glow-in-the-dark thread to test out, I couldn't resist embroidering our pillows with cat and bear ears. Now we look like cute little critters while we're sleeping!

Step 1
Plan out your design on a piece of paper and then trace on to tracing paper with a transfer pen.
Step 2
I cheated by tracing half of the design, folding my paper in half and then tracing the other side through the paper so it would be identical.
Step 3
Iron your designs onto your pillowcases.
Step 4
Remove the tracing paper to reveal the image.
Step 5
All set to sew? Pop your pillowcases in an embroidery hoop and thread your needle with grey or silver thread.
Step 6
Knot the thread at the back and start stitching, wrapping yarn around the whole design.
Step 7
Keep going until you've filled in the whole design.
Step 8
Now thread your needle with sparkly silver embroidery floss and stitch on top of your previous design, leaving a little gap in between each stitch so that the original grey still shows through.
Step 9
Finally outline the ears with glow-in-the-dark thread.
Step 10
Cut off any loose thread and give your pillowcases a good iron.
Step 11
Pop on your pillows and wait until it goes dark!
