Ever since I’ve discovered how easy it is to make your own kitchen tea towels I’ve been pretty obsessed with doing just that! There’s just something wonderful knowing that what’s in your home has been created with your hands, isn’t there? It makes it feel warm and cozy, personal, and just always makes me smile whenever I pass on by.

Plus, once you figure out how to do it the first time it just becomes so much easier the following times afterwards. For instance, this DIY fall tea towel was a piece cake for me, and it used one of my all-time favorite machines, my Silhouette CAMEO. But, enough about me, let’s get back to you! Let me show you just how easy it is to make this beauty.

    Here’s what you’ll need to get started:

    SUPPLIES and TOOLS

    • Welcome Fall SVG Cut File
    • Vinyl
    • Transfer Tape
    • Silhouette CAMEO and Mat
    • Print Screen (this kit includes: screen, squeegee, and the ink)
    • Screen Printing Ink in Gold
    • Squeegee
    • Foam Brush
    • Painter’s Tape
    • Flour Sack(s)

    STEPS

    • Cut out your design on your Silhouette CAMEO (or Cricut if you prefer–this tutorial works with either or). Need help cutting out this file? Check out this tutorial for further assistance!

    • Apply your transfer tape to your vinyl, and then pick out all of the pieces of your vinyl that you want to be painted.
    • Attach your vinyl stencil to your print screen with your squeegee and remove your transfer tape.

    • Next, open up your flour sack and place a piece of cardboard in between your bottom and top layer. This will prevent the ink from soaking into the bottom layer of your flour sack. NOTE: I also like to put a piece of cardboard underneath my bottom layer and my table just in case my table surface is less than desirable.how to create your own diy tea towels

    Need a better visual? Check out the video below!

    • Place your print screen on top of your flour sack where you would like the design to appear.
    • With your foam brush lightly dap ink right above your design. It doesn’t have to be a huge amount. I like to add more as I go.

    • Take your squeegee and run it back and forth over your design several times.
    • Then, slowly lift your print screen off of your flour sack.
    • 2nd NOTE: I don’t think I realized how wrinkled my flour sack was while I was doing this tutorial. The photos definitely reveal a lot! However, as you can see, you can do this project with or without the wrinkles. Your choice!

    I’m not sure about you, but this gold screen printing ink was key on this project. I’m already brainstorming how I can use it again! I hope you enjoyed and if you end up creating your own send it my way. I’d love to see your own in action 🙂

I started off with a completelyyyy different version, and quite frankly, I was so disappointed in it. However, I just kept playing with the design until finally... this lovely was accomplished! The colors are all from the original piece, and then I used a clipping mask over this new design.

I've been using a lot of warm tones as much as I can. I tend to be a very cold-natured person so during the winter months, I do my very best to think all things summer to get me through!
