Adventures in Pinterest: Monogram Dish Towels

Oh my goodness, y'all, these turned out so cute.  You better believe a few are going to land on my oven in the very near future.

I made these sweet towels for Mother-in-Law Red and her boyfriend as they celebrated their new abode at their housewarming in late January.

My Pinspiration:


My Creation:
These were so easy, and I personally think they turned out just darling.  It was my first time using an exact knife and making my own little stencil and my first time using fabric medium!  There are some detailed instructions at the first link, and they as super helpful.  The only thing the first link doesn't note is how exactly to use the fabric medium - it should say on your bottle, but mine was 1 part medium and 2 parts of your paint.  Hopefully these will stay as adorable as they are not post washing machine.

  1. I have a friend who did this, however she used a sharpie and somehow changed the sharpie look to something else...and they turned out great! One day I'm going to start doing more off that site!
