Flour sack towels are my favorite towel to have around the kitchen. They absorb so much moisture, plus I can tie them around my waist.
I haven't ever been able to find pretty towels that I am willing to pay for so I decided to make my own. This project was super easy and fairly cheap.
Supplies:
plain flour sack towels (Walmart has them for 5/$5)
acrylic paint
sponge
stencil
1. Lay out your towel. I bought a tri-fold and then used thumbtacks to secure the towel so it didn't move around while stenciling.
2. Stencil
3. Let it dry for a few days and then wash. I had to wash mine a couple times with fabric softener because I put quite a bit of paint on.
Yay for pretty new towels! It was so easy and quick that I'm going to make more once I get a chance.
