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!

Something anyone could do, right?
That’s it for today, short and sweet.

Those turned out super cute! I need to make some.
Thank you Ashley and it doesn’t get easier than this.
I love the gold dots! I need to try the fabric medium, I have soooo many craft paints. What a great gift idea too!!

I couldn’t think of a more perfect addition to that bathroom! Love these! Maybe your towel and my napkins can go from a drink sometime! 🙂
I had never seen your napkins before Katja posted about them. Love them too

So perfect! I have some leftover fabric medium from painting my chairs – I hadn’t even thought about what else I could do with it! Love the gold polka dots!

Julia, all your tea towels are just darling and these dotted ones are no exception! Love them! What a great project!
Thank you my friend
I 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.
Thanks so much Allison. That would sure be nice with the bread
Too cute! I’d love to try this in different colors for each season!

So cute Julia! You can never go wrong with gold dots!

How 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!
Thanks and I know I struggle with that too
Wow! Super cute!

Sooo fun Julia. And super easy. Thanks for sharing friend.

How did I miss this? Love, love, love!! Do you mind sharing how much Fabric Medium you add to the paint?

Hi 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.
love finding ways to bring personality into the smallest details of our home, right down. Take a look at this glamorous Diy Painted gold polka dot towel !
