Handmade Gift Idea: DIY Printed Tea Towels

Have you ever tried silk-screening? It's easier than expected and a fun way to add a design of your choice to something ordinary like white tea towels.

For the winter season, I decided to go with a snowflake pattern.





I sewed my own tea towels, but you can use store-bought. Just make sure they're washed and dried ahead of time.





You can find all sorts of silk screening stencils at the craft store, along with fabric paint (or fabric paint medium) in a variety of colors.





I used painter's tape to make sure the screens didn't shift around when I applied the paint.
After heat setting with an iron, the towels are ready to use. I think they'd make perfect gifts for the holidays too!
