Friends and a super-easy tute!

Today i got to catch up with a friend i haven't seen in YEARS! We met at my place. I let my kids have the day off school so they could hang out too. All together we had 9 kids running around, but they were all so good, you really wouldn't have known it!

It was such a lovely day spent catching up with friends. I wish it could happen more often.

Sadly, they all left and i'm afraid it will probably be awhile before i get to see Nic and her gorgeous family again :(

So to cheer me up here a quick and easy project i did. 

What you need: 

a cute tea-towel

a canvas about the same size as the print of your towel

a staple gun

My step-mother hjad bought me this sweet tea towel awhile ago, and i knew i liked it enough that i didn't want to actually use it as a tea towel. So for months and moths it sat in a cupboard going to waste. then one day i decided to do something with it. This project cost me .......

$0.00!

I used stuff i already had ;)

So start by ironing you tea towel so it has no creases. The get your towl and lay it on a flat surface face down. On my towel i could see the print through the back, so i just placed the canvas down where i wanted it, so the print was centred.

(this is what it looks like flipped over)

{ If yours is thicker and you cant see the print, try taping it to a sunny window so you can see through it. Then mark the back where your canvas will be placed. Once this is done you can take it down and lay it on a flat surface. Place your canvas on your marks. }

Then grab one side of the tea towel and (holding the canvas in place) pull tight  and 'wrap' your teatowel around the canvas, just as you would wrap a gift. Except as you do each side, staple gun it to the back of the canvas so it sits quite firmly against it. Take any excess and stuff it in the back of the canvas.

And there you have it, my friends! Cheap and easy kitchen decor....hoorah!
