It worked beautifully. I think the kids will be delighted to receive an extra gift in the pillow case. I think I will do this for everyone at Christmas.
Goes OMG and drools.

I actually did something similar. I put the person's gift in an elvis fabric and wrapped it and then put it in a gift bag and put crepe paper over it.
Not sure which gift she liked more the elvis wrapping fabric or the other gift.

A friend of my sister made cloth wrapping 'bags' for her Christmas gifts to family. She collects them every year after the gifts are 'unwrapped' and reuses them. She doesn't spend money on paper that will be thrown away each year. The pillowcase is the same concept and a great idea. I, too shall steal the idea!! Thanks!
