I K E A towel apron project



These little beauties are soft, useful and cost under two dollars to complete.  I am using them for party favors.  Final apron picture at the end of the post.


I cut the ribbon cords in 22 inch strips for the ties.


I sewed each tie 4 inches down from the top of each towel.


The towels came in four patterns.  Once finished I tied them into a little bundle.
You flip down the four inch top margin and tie it around your waist.


Supplies
Towels 4 for $3.49 each 88 cents
Ribbon for tie - 79 cent a yard
Time to sew two minutes

$1.69

  4. You are a flipping genius!!! Don't you think the red ones they sell would be great for Christmas? Wrap them around something warm from the oven and there you go.
