And now for a short and sweet Valentine’s Project!
I spotted some cute Valentine’s Day towels in the $1 bins at Target a couple of weeks ago.
Is it just me or do those bins just call out to you?
I try to steer my cart away from them but the force of the bargain just pulls it back in!
It took me awhile to figure out what I was going to make with them and then I saw these cuties from
Pottery Barn Kids on Pinterest.
Now, if I had been willing to give an extra 10 minutes of my time and a little more energy, I probably could have recreated these more accurately. But, you know what? I didn’t wanna!
So, this is my…
I’m-Lazy-It’s-Kinda-Sorta-Not-Quite-Pottery-Barn-Envelope-Chair-Backer-Knock-Off!
Here’s what you’ll need to make these.
It’s a lot, I know.
And this is going to be a really tough Tutorial so prepare yourself!
Turn your towel over so that the pattern you want showing is facing down.
Fold your towel a little more than half-way up.
Using “No Sew” or any other kind of liquid stitch, glue the edges in place.
Fold in each corner so that they meet in the middle and create a point which will be where your “envelope” opens. I warned you that this would be a challenging tutorial….stick with me folks!
Liquid “stitch” it in place.
I went back and added a little more glue to these corners just to secure it better.
Add a button for the cuteness factor!
Tie a fancy ribbon around it to distract anyone from realizing it’s a dish towel.
And hang it on the back of your kid’s chairs.
Oh look! Someone already has some mail!
I think it probably says,
“Dear Mommy, we know we look at you like you are crazy when we see you doing things like gluing a dish towel into the shape of a giant envelope. But, you know we love you anyway!
Love, Your Rascals”
