SAVE MONEY.
For my friend Izzy’s vintage bridal shower, we thought we’d get creative with game prizes. I had been wanting to try sprucing up some plain old tea towels and this is what I came up with.
I decided since she was having a vintage wedding I would add some lace to the tea towels to give it a bit of vintage flair. These make great wedding gifts and would also make great Mother’s Day gifts with Nana or Grammy written on them.
Supplies:
- plain tea towels
- fabric markers/fabric paint
- lace
- sewing machine
Game Plan:
1. Wash and iron tea towels prior to working on them.
2. Using your sewing machine, stitch a couple of decorative stitches onto your tea towel.
I chose to do a couple of jagged lines in a deep red thread.
Stitch lines across the bottom of the tea towel
3. Add lace to your tea towel by stitching it on with a sewing machine.
I added black lace just above the red stitching to two tea towels and a white lace to the edge of one tea towel for something a little different.
Stitch lace onto the tea towel at the bottom or above your stitching
4. Add your monogram or word/name of your choice using fabric markers or fabric paint.
I chose to do an F for her soon-to-be last name and then “Mr.” and “Mrs.”
5. Dry your tea towels to set the ink of the marker (follow directions on the box).
