DIY Vintage-y Hand Towels
SO, one day after Christmas, I was browsing the GWO and came across these lovelies… My heart skipped a beat and I felt the Lord smiling down on me as I rescued them from under the mounds of linens that will meet their certain demise if not claimed here…. Ahhh…. It was like the light shone down and the angels were singing…
Look at these bright colors! I was in love. But they needed a tiny bit of updating and sprucing up. No prob. Here’s how I did it.
Gather Your Materials:
Vintage towels (or any towel for that matter!)
Trim, lace or other bits of fun to add to the edges
First I trimmed off the fringe on the edges of the towels… it was looking a little ragged. Then chose some trim (I love these little pom poms) and a thin strip of lace and pinned in place on the edge of the towel. Then sew the trim to the towel right on the edge. I used a wide zig zag stitch so that I wouldn’t have to sew a seam on the top and bottom of the trim.
And then, hang them up! Since I think I paid all of 2 dollars for everything, I don’t care if my guests (or children) really use them! You know, we all have those towels that are so nice or too cute to actually use… and tell me how crazy this is… I saw some hand towels the other day that said hand wash only… YEA RIGHT. So, I am proud of these adorable towels that people can actually use and I can toss in the wash.
