Make 4 napkins from one tea towel! What a great quick and easy Holiday gift idea! OneKriegerChick for Skip to My Lou

I love giving handmade gifts, especially practical gifts that I hope will be used.  We use cloth napkins at our house and I like to have some that are special for the holidays.  I’m gong to show you how quick and easy it is to make a set of cloth napkins from a tea towel…Antler stencil tea towels-3- OneKriegerChick for Skip to my LouYou’ll need:

  • 1 tea towel per 4 napkins
  • scissors
  • fabric paint
  • stencil
  • stencil brush
  • sewing machine
  • iron (optional)

Start by folding the towel in four and cutting along the folds.  I find it’s easier if I iron the fabric to create crisp folds.Antler stencil tea towel napkins- OneKriegerChick for Skip to my LouYou’ll end up with four same-size pieces of tea towel.Antler stencil tea towel napkins-2- OneKriegerChick for Skip to my LouFold each raw edge in a bit and press with the iron.Antler stencil tea towel napkins-3- OneKriegerChick for Skip to my LouSew a seam along each folded edge.  You should only have to sew two sides of each napkin.Antler stencil tea towel napkins-4- OneKriegerChick for Skip to my LouCreate or purchase a stencil of your choice.  I used antlers I cut from vinyl on my Cricut machine.Antler stencil- OneKriegerChick for Skip to my LouUse a stencil brush to apply a little bit of fabric paint (I chose gold).  When dry, lift up the vinyl stencil and you have a darling little antler.  I used a different antler shape on each napkin.  The vinyl stencils can be used over and over again, so you can make multiple sets of napkins in no time at all!
