Stamped dishtowels

Stylish kitchen dishtowels don’t have to be expensive. Use flour sack towels to create your own stamped dishtowels.

Flour sack towels are lint free and dry quickly and are perfect for the kitchen or bathroom. Buy them in bulk and you will have enough to make as gifts for friends and you’ll still be able to keep a few for yourself!

Be sure to wash and dry towels in advance and iron lightly, if needed. Use butcher paper or newspaper to cover a large table (to protect from paint spills) and get crafting!

The following tips will come in handy when creating these customized towels.

• Use paper towels under the flour sacks to prevent your work surface from bleeding paint.
• Reuse Greek yogurt cups as paint bowls.
• Apply a light coat of paint to your brush so stamp details show up clearly on the towel.

If you opt to use multiple colors, use a new foam brush or brayer (a hand roller used in printmaking) and paint stamp surface for each color.

Stamped dishtowels make great hostess gifts during the holidays, shower and housewarming gifts. They’re useful, personal and inexpensive!
