I know I just had painted towels two weeks ago but I made several fabric painted towels for the DIY magazine photoshoot and I didn’t share this one with you yet.
So easy! I can’t even believe how easy it was.
I swear I didn’t see my friend Amber’s napkins before I made mine. I just saw them for the first time when my friend Katja at ShiftCtrlArt shared them last week and I felt like an idiot. Where was I in 2012?!?! So check out her tutorial as well, so similar but not the same 😉
I used the floursack dish towels again and Ceramcoat Metallic 14K Gold
and fabric medium (which you can buy at any craft store)
I mixed the paint and fabric medium:
And I simply used a paint roller that I had left in the garage to make my dots.
Sorry for the cellphone photos. Can you tell that I just eyeballed my dots?
Yup, no measuring involved, not bad right?
And here it is in our powder room. Love it!
You can see my other painted dishtowels by clicking HERE.
Something anyone could do, right?
That’s it for today, short and sweet.
Tschüß

November 24, 2014 at 2:19 pmI love these Julia! Gold and polka dots = happiness for me! I make mini homemeade breads for our neighbors for Christmas and these would be fun to give along with the bread. Love the simplicity of this project, too! Thank you for sharing this. Your home is so beautiful and fun.

November 26, 2014 at 12:21 pmHow lovely! I really dig the fact that the pattern doesn’t compete with the sripes on the walls. Thats always one of my biggest dillemas- mixing patterns!

Julia says
January 22, 2016 at 9:48 amHi Pat, I recommend reading the specific fabric medium brand’s directions on the back of the bottle since it might be different depending on what you buy.
