Now that Thanksgiving is over, are y’all getting into the Christmas spirit? I have a super simple project for you that will bring some Christmas cheer to your home or make a great gift for someone special. My Christmas tea towels are easy to make with Tulip Shimmer Sheets and Tulip Shimmer Paints.
I love Christmas crafts! Every year I look forward to the holiday season so I can start creating homemade decorations and gifts. Making these Christmas tea towels is a great way to get into the Christmas spirit and make your home feel festive.
I love making my home feel festive with handmade ornaments, wreaths, and stockings. I also like to get creative with Christmas decor, such as making a garland out of popcorn and cranberries. Crafting is a great way to express your creativity and make unique decorations for your home. It’s also a great way to spend time with family and friends, as crafting can be a fun and relaxing activity.
These tea towels will make gathering your family and friends fun and festive this holiday season. Make these to use in your home or gift to a loved one.
How to Make Christmas Tea Towels
Supplies for Christmas Tea Towels
- Tea Towel
- Tulip Shimmer Sheets
- Tulip Shimmer Paints
I was sent a huge box of supplies from I Love To Create full of great Tulip products. I made a quick one minute video for y’all so you can see all that was in my box. Plus hear a southern accent. It is like a win win don’t ya think?
Alright now let’s get to work. I started with a tea towel and the Tulip Shimmer Sheets. I prewashed the tea towel and ironed it.
The shimmer sheets are amazing. You cut out any shape with scissors or even a craft cutter. Then just use an iron to adhere to your surface. I free handed some poinsettia shapes with scissors and tried them out on my towel.
Once everything looked good, I started ironing to my towel. Starting with my first set of petals.
I added in a second smaller set of petals. I just laid them right on top. Then followed the instructions for ironing them on.
I then added some even smaller petal shapes in the center in gold.
I used another gold sheet to cut out small circular shapes and adhered those right on top. I then broke out the fabric glue and glitter.
I made some leaf shapes with the glue and added tons of green glitter.
And really just that simply I had one tea towel done. The shimmer sheets make projects like this quick and easy.
The second tea towel I made was even simpler (I know right how can it get simpler??). I cut a couple of triangles and rectangles. Adhered them with my iron. I had another tea towel with some modern trees.
Two tea towels within a few minutes time and perfect for gift giving.
Or use to spruce up your own kitchen for the holidays!
