Recycled Tea Towel Spring Carrot Bag
I started with a tea towel, not a new one but an old one from the kitchen lol!
It was clean, unstained, and nice and soft.
The first thing I did was to fold the tea towel in half, top to bottom.
As you scroll through this post please pay attention to the bold blue links for all the details on these projects!
Next, I made a snip in each side of the towel and ripped the fabric so the edges would be frayed.
I ended up taking about 3" off one side and an inch off the other.
Save the 3" scrap for the end!
Next, I hot glued the edges of the tea towel closed.
I ran the bead of glue about 1/2" from the frayed edges.
The top edge of the tea towel still has the original seams.
When the glue dried, I folded over the top seamed of the tea towel bag a few times.
Next, I cut a rectangle of painters cloth fabric and frayed the edges.
I chose a Hello Spring stencil from the set of Spring stencils I purchased from Amazon recently.
I hot glued the stenciled fabric onto the front of my tea towel bag.
Next, I used a length of rebar wire and stuck it through the fabric on each side to form a hanger for my bag.
Now it was time to grab that 3" piece of fabric I tore off the tea towel.
I tore the last edge and formed a bow that I hot glued to the side of the bag.
Now it was time to fill the bag!
I saved shredded packing material that came in a delivery box and stuffed my tea towel bag.
I stuffed the bag then added stuffed carrots .
The stuffed carrots were another fun Homeroad project!
How cute is this old tea towel now?!
It can hang or sit on a shelf.
I decided it looked great hanging on a simple wreath on my DIY front door too!
I made the wreath using grapevine I found in my Mom's yard.
This project can be done with any kind of pretty tea towel!
I happen to be a big fan of buffalo check projects!
