Hello everyone! This is Heather, from Setting for Four, and I blog about creating a home and decor that won't break the bank. Today I am sharing a very easy DIY Sharpie French Label Towel. This project is one of the most inexpensive and easiest projects I have ever made!
It doesn't even require transfer paper or Citra Solv - just a black permanent marker! I love that there is no need to buy transfer paper and no mess from using Citra Solv!
Supplies:
Flour Sack kitchen towel, pack of 2 - Mainstays brand, Wallmart
Ultra Fine Point black permanent Sharpie marker
Black and White photocopy of French Chocolate label - I used the 'Cacao Payraud' label from the Graphics Fairy. There are also many other graphics and labels on this wonderful site to choose from.
2 straight pins
Tutorial:
Wash and dry the flour sack towel.
Place photocopy of French label on table, with the printed side facing up (make sure something is under the photocopy to protect your table).
Place towel on top of photocopy.
Pin the towel to the paper in two places to prevent shifting.
Trace the words onto the towel using the sharpie (The towel is see through enough that you can see the black wording underneath.)
That.Is.It!!! No kidding - you're done!
Because this project uses permanent marker - it won't disappear in the wash! I have washed mine and the printing didn't wash out or 'bleed' at all.
You could vary this tutorial in so many different ways: use a different color of permanent marker, a picture or other script to customize this to your home!
