DIY Stamped Hand Towels
Posted by melissa on Mar 6, 2013 in bathroom, crafts | 45 comments
As I finished up my downstairs bathroom makeover, I realized that I could not put my same old hand towels back out.
One of the dangers of decorating. . .
One thing leads to another.
I looked around a bit and could not find anything that I liked.
I wanted them to be simple, but to have some personality to them.
I decided to make some of my own.
Super simple.
Super quick.
I gathered all of my supplies.
Hand towel (washed and dried)
Light colored material (washed and dried) – I used drop cloth because I had it on hand. You don’t want to use a light weight material.
Fusible web
Fabric ink pad
Stamps
Thread
Sewing Machine
Following the directions for your fusible web, adhere the web to the fabric.
Using a straight line, draw your rectangles onto the paper part of the web.
Mine were 2″ x 5″
Cut them out.
Still leave the paper on, it makes it easier to stamp them.
I used a stamping block.
(LOVE that my daughter has such a great stamping stash!)
I stamped the word onto the fabric.
Pretty straight forward words.
I wanted it to be simple.
Peel the back off of the web.
Iron it to the towel.
Run a zig-zag stitch around the edge.
I expect them to fray a bit around the edges when I wash them, but I like that look.
Life to the full,
Melissa

I LOOOOVE this idea!! Just one question… the ink won’t wash off when washed or is it supposed to hold up? I’m pinning it and sharing on my facebook page.
SUPER CUTE!!

I absolutely love these, Melissa! If I could actually sew something I would be making myself a set for our bathroom. Just really, really cute!

Now how smart is this? I love it! And think of the possibilities!
I would love it if you would share this sometime over on F-it Fridays!

such a clever and super adorable idea!
Simple but oh such a cute idea. I should do some of these for the guest bath. What a nice impact they make. Love it!!
Very cute, but I too was wondering if it would wash off.
Great to have you be a part of Seasonal Sundays.

I used fabric ink, so it should be good. I have used this ink on a t-shirt and I have had great success with washing it!
