DON’T THROW IN THE TOWEL! 3 Ways to Spruce Up Your Kitchen Linens
Linens give a kitchen a sense of style, but they’re also perfect for drying hands and cleaning up a few spills. Unfortunately, store-bought linens might not match your kitchen’s aesthetic. But, by creating your own, you don’t have to worry about searching for the perfect fit any longer. Give your kitchen the look you’re after with these linen tips!
Trace it out.
A white linen kitchen towel can be the perfect canvas for your artistic vision. On a piece of cardstock, print out a design you want on your kitchen linen (cardstock is sturdier than paper!). Next, place your printout underneath your kitchen linen so you can see the design lines through the fabric. Lastly, take whichever color paint you want to use and trace the design! It’s a simple, cheap way to bring your preferred look into your kitchen.
Transfer a photo.
To transfer a picture onto your kitchen linen, you have a few options to choose from. One of the easiest is to use artist or fabric transfer paper. Simply print out the picture you want on the paper, then iron the image onto the fabric. In just a few minutes, you’ll have the perfect picture to capture the essence of your kitchen’s style. C&T Publishing has a wonderful product called Transfer Artist Paper (TAP), which you can find on Amazon.com for just $10.
Pick your own fabric.
One of the best ways to ensure your kitchen has the perfect linens is to make your own, no matter the style of your kitchen. There are two methods you can use for these kitchen linens: a sewing and no-sewing version. Sewing your own is perfect to create a sturdy towel that is great for drying hands. A good tutorial to follow is from the YouTube channel Making it in the Mountains, where Kristi takes you through the steps of creating your own linen dish towels.
