Tea Towel Art

You know that feeling you get when you know the water's cold but you just wanna jump in? That is where I am.
This is my first time participating in Met Monday, so hopefully I do everything right. Thank you Susan at Between naps on the porch for inspiring me to jump in! http://betweennapsontheporch.blogspot.com/

I was trying to think of what metamorphism I could post...I decided to start small. Here goes...

I bought a kitchen towel set at Target that I really liked, you know the kind-the pack of two, a waffle weave towel and a smooth cotton towel. When I got home and opened up the package, the smooth towel was just too pretty to use...so here's what I did.

I purchased stretcher bars @ Hobby Lobby 2'' smaller than the dishtowel. Stretcher bars are typically used to stretch canvas for paintings. (fyi)

I laid the dishtowel face down on the counter and used the staple gun to attach it to the stretcher bars

After I got done, basically "upholstering", this was the end result! I was really happy it worked out! Easy and Fast art on a budget!

Well that's it! I really love this graphic over-scale design of the towel and it hangs proudly in my kitchen. I would like to publicly thank my 12 year old son, Keegan, for humoring his mother enough to take pictures :)

Thanks for reading and visiting, and I hope you look at dishtowels in a whole new light!

Thanks again Susan!
