Little Chick Tea Towel

Happy Thursday, my friends!

♥

Remember those tea towels that I embellished for Christmas gifts? Well my sister-in-law, Meta, loved hers so much that she asked me to make her one for every season. I didn't get around to stamping one for Valentine's Day, but I did make an Easter/spring towel to add to her little collection. {Surprise, Meta Skeeta!}

I knew that I wanted to stamp this towel with little chickies marching along one end, but I didn't have a chick stamp in my collection so I carved one using this product. It's easier to carve than you might imagine, and I found this video if you'd like to learn more about that.

I ended up attaching my stamp to a little acrylic block because it was a bit awkward to hold onto without it. In fact, a towel that is now added to my collection has one little chickie tipped over on her back amongst the others marching in a straight line. :o\ We'll just say that chick had too much wine. And my collection of towels that didn't make the gift-giving-cut is growing. ~sigh~

Anyway! Any stamp will work for this project - you don't have to carve your own. I used yellow fabric paint for the chicks, and a black fabric pen for their little dot eyes.

I buy these towels at Target - they come four to a package and are fairly inexpensive. I do pre-wash and press them before I embellish, and they are a super fun, quick and easy little project to put together.

 

Are you whipping up any Easter crafts around your place?
