After Christmas Clearance Sales are the best! As I browse though discounted items I not only look for holiday clearance I can use next season, but I also search for household items I can use throughout the year. While at Target today I purchased a couple packs of dinner napkins. Although they are solid white and could be used at any time, they were in their holiday clearance section for 50% off. Yeah Me!!!
They were perfectly fine as is but, I decided to add some pleated trim to the bottom hem, and use them as tea towels instead.
Still looking a little bare, I used fabric glue to attach a small flower that I made, then hand sewed a button in the center.
Much Better, don't cha think!
This will look real cute hanging over my oven handle!
I love it!! It's so adorable!
ReplyDeleteBrandi, you are seriously clever and thrifty. The little flower is a fantastic idea! Looks lovely.

Hi Brandi,
ReplyDeleteThese were a great find - I bet you thought of about a million different things to do with them!! Did you make the pleated braid or can you buy it like that? I really like it.
Gorgeous!
Happy New Year!
