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!
These are wonderful! I would love you to share them at my link party – Silver Pennies Sundays: http://www.findingsilverpennies.com/2013/03/silver-pennies-sundays-link-party_10.html
