My kitchen has a bit of a red theme throughout..not silly I went crazy with red but there's some red there. I decided I needed another dishtowel and wanted to print my own. Here is what I came up with:
Step 1: Cut out your dishtowel by using one that you already own. I used a linen type cotton for my dishtowel because I believe it will be pretty sturdy for helping with kitchen messes or just to look cute!
Use Martha Stewart multi-surface paint...not sure why I haven't been buying this my entire life. Check out your one-dollar bins at Joanne's and Michael's...I came out with this cool wavy/chevron stamp.
Step 2: Start stamping. Be patient, I know that's very hard for the get it done now crafters as I am one of them, it will pay off. My stamps are all kind of hazy and not too distinct, I liked that and wanted to continue doing that. I used a paint brush to cover my stamp then I stamped it on my plate to get excess paint off then stamped it on the towel. Try to keep each stamp and row equidistant from each other, that makes the towel look much more polished.
Step 3: Double fold each side and sew close to the fold (this way when you wash it nothing will fray). And there you have it a basic dishtowel.
This week I made my good friend's bridal shower invitations, which I will have to share in the future. Sunday we leave for Maine and I'm very excited!
Thanks for stopping in!
