Invert pillowcase. Cut lines where shown. Seal cut edges of fabric to avoid fraying. To do so, melt edges over a flame. Do not put fabric in flame. Simply bring it close and watch it melt the edge.

Tip: If purchased pillowcase is not made of polyester or microfiber use Fray Check to prevent fraying instead. Squirt gently onto edges of fabric. Invert pillowcase and iron.
