Step 1: Gather Your Supplies

Before we dive into the world of iron-on designs, let’s gather our supplies for your DIY Gather Tea towel:

• Plain tea towels (pre-washed)
• Iron-on transfer paper for inkjet printers
• Inkjet printer
• Scissors
• Iron and ironing board
• Pillowcase or parchment paper
• Your free “Gather” design (sign up for our newsletter to get it!)

Step 2: Print Your Design

After you’ve downloaded the “Gather” design from the resource library (the link and password will come via email), it’s time to print it onto the iron-on transfer paper. Be sure to follow the instructions on the transfer paper packaging for best results. Remember, this is where the fun begins, so don’t be afraid to get a little creative with the design’s placement.

Step 3: Cut with Care

Once your design is printed and fully dry, use your scissors to cut it out. Trim as close to the design as possible, leaving just a small margin. Precision is key here, so take your time and make those edges as clean as a fresh kitchen towel.

Step 4: Prepare Your Canvas

Lay your tea towel on the ironing board, ensuring it’s smooth and wrinkle-free. Place a pillowcase or a piece of parchment paper over the area where you’ll be applying the design. This extra layer will protect your iron and tea towel from any ink that might bleed.

Step 5: Heat Up the Iron

It’s showtime for your trusty iron! Set it to the cotton or linen setting (usually the hottest). Make sure the steam feature is turned off, as we want a dry heat for this process.

Step 6: Position and Press

Place your cut-out design face down onto the tea towel in your desired location. Ensure it’s centered and level – this is your masterpiece, after all! With your iron preheated, press down firmly on the design for about 20-30 seconds. Apply even pressure to all areas of the design to ensure a smooth transfer.

Step 7: The Big Reveal

Allow your tea towel to cool for a minute or two before carefully peeling away the backing paper. This is the moment of truth, and it’s as exciting as unwrapping a gift. Watch as your “Gather” design emerges, now a permanent part of your tea towel.

Step 8: Set the Design

To ensure your design stays put through countless kitchen adventures, it’s time to set it. Cover the tea towel and design with the protective layer again (pillowcase or parchment paper) and gently iron over the design for another 20-30 seconds.

Step 9: Admire Your Handiwork

With your “Gather” design securely in place, step back and admire your creation. You’ve transformed a plain tea towel into a work of art that will add charm and personality to your kitchen.

Crafting DIY Gather Tea Towels with iron-on designs is not just about creating beautiful kitchen decor; it’s about infusing your space with the warmth and personality that make your house a home. Every time you use your tea towel, you’ll be reminded of the joy of crafting and the togetherness that defines your kitchen.
