DIY: How To Personalize Towels

Rebecca Kolls shared these DIY Tips for creating kitchen towels with WCCO Mid-Morning viewers.

The DIY Project is really super simple and a great way to personalize plain towels that you can keep or give away as gifts.

Wash, and dry the flour sack towels.

All you need is:

To get started:

Tape down towel with masking tape, pulling it taut.
If you're worried about paint running through the fabric, line back with a paper towel or piece of cardboard.
Lay the towel on top.
Place the stencil over top positioning it about ⅓ way on the towel in the center.
Mentally divide the towel into thirds. You will want to put the design on the lower part of the center third of the tea towel.
Tape down stencil
Using a dry sponge, dip lightly into paint, and stamp off excess.
Gently, lightly but swifty, rub sponge over cut out stenciled - not too thick
Use several colors if you wish.
Allow paint to dry a bit, then carefully remove stencil. Hang towel to dry which shouldn't take long.
