Make: Popsicle Stamped Tea Towels
Message from Maggie:
In another rendition of my previous tea towel project, I created this popsicle version for the host of my Labor Day weekend vacation.
Materials:
- Acrylic paint (blue and brown)
- Plastic plate
- Plain tea towel
- Potato
- An iron
- 2 paint brushes
Instructions:
- Cut a potato into the shape the popsicle part of a popsicle.
- Squirt some paint onto a plastic plate
- Using a paint brush, paint the potato that looks like a popsicle blue.
- Press the popsicle down firmly on the towel.
- Repeat adding blue paint between presses until your towel is filled with popsicles.
- Cut a potato to look like a popsicle stick.
- Using a paint brush, paint the potato that looks like a popsicle stick brown.
- Press the popsicle stick potato shape down firmly on the towel under the popsicle.
- Repeat adding brown paint between presses until your towel is filled with complete popsicles.
- Once towel is completely dry, place a clean rag over the tea towel and using a hot iron iron the rag to ensure the paint sets.
