I absolutely love your channel, I am always looking forward to how you make your home so beautiful with a budget. I don’t have a lot of extra money and you do crafts that make me feel like I can do it as I am not good at coming up with my own ideas. Keep up the good work!
Why do so many of you feel the need to make derogatory comments on this video? They are decorative & lovely. I think a lot of people use the excuse of being “honest” when in fact, they’re just using honesty as an excuse to be rude.
IKR, o my geez I love this idea! I do NOT sew, so to be 💯 honest if a video says, " No sewing" im jumping on it😍 " Keywords" *NO sewing * DECORATIVE hand towel, She delivered just that, on point! #loveit #greatvideo #makemoreNOSEWING🌹
Imagine not getting much attention throughout your life and then suddenly I can get peoples attention by being rude or ignorant, we’ll Small town girl that’s what we’re dealing with so just ignore them like everybody else in their lives do.
All your ideas are really nice. I love how you make your ideas easy for ALL levels. I grew up with a mom that never allowed us to touch her towels... I get that... LOVE YOU WILLINGNESS TO KEEP CREATING... you look so pretty too with your hair down.... thanks for all you do
I love going through your older videos, I’m redecorating my son’s guest bathroom and hadn’t come up with anything I liked yet. Now I’m ready to go! Thank you so much Kelly, your videos are definitely my favorites. 😍👍👍
WOW! I LOVED this video on How To Make Your OWN Decorative Towels!! SO Talented! Thank You for Sharing Your Talent & Wisdom on how to do this Myself!! I can't wait to try it...
I haven't read all the comments, so this may have already been mentioned, but as a long time sewist, I would recommend you try putting a pressing cloth over the ribbon before you press it. It will take care of the ribbon sticking or melting. :) Hope this helps you a little as you help us a lot with your tutorials.
Kelly for the video I ty. I personally love this idea. I had watched it before, but I did not have time last year to make them. This year I will be making them and giving for christmas gifts. As far as people saying that they are not practical. I disagree. I host Thanksgiving and Christmas every year at my house. I put out decorative towels on the towel rack FOR LOOKS !!!! But, I also provide finger towels in a basket on the counter by the sink, and guest napkins to dry your hands. Use your imagination people and get over yourselves. The fingertip towels and guest napkins are a cheap alternative to use instead of the decorative towels on the towel rack... keep up the good work Kelly !!!! kudos to you :)
I love this idea. I am going to make some hand towels for my new home. I am going to go through your videos and save the ones that i would like to do in my home. Thank you so much.
When my great nieces were little girls, I used bath towels in the usual colors pink, purple, yellow, red, orange etc. and made them their own sets. I added ribbons, bows, buttons. Each one had a emblem cut from tshirt I found at a second hand store which was attached to the bath towel like a pocket. I also used heat bond but included machine stitching and hand sewing where I needed more durability. The end result were sets of towels that all the girls fell in love with. Sister's had their own sets and stopped fighting over who's towel was who's. This was 6 years ago. My great nieces are much older but some still have their towels just stored away now. Others are still using theirs. This video has inspired me to recreate the gift again this year for Christmas and include mini spa sets now that they are older. Thanks for the post. Love your videos.
I was blessed that my stepdaughters' grandmother (my mol) worked where they did embroidery so I had her do their initial in the big towels and names on wash cloths all on purple to go in the deep orchid bathroom I painted for them.
It is just adorable how you stand for niceness. So stinking cute! Adopting it as an identity completely neutralizes negative comments like a friggin' force field. There is just no room or oxygen for the negative.
I love your crafting videos Kelly! I'm moving in about 6 weeks and will finally have a crafting/spare bedroom! I'm chomping at the bit to do more crafts. My youngest daughter, 24, wants me to teach her how I made a gorgeous farmhouse inspired winter wreath for her big sister's front door. Beautiful towels and what a great gift! Any of your curtain and bathroom DIY's would be awesome to see... Thank you so much Kelly! xx Joan
That is going on my list now Super bonding. I can use it on so many different projects. I like to quilt. It’s very nerve racking and sewing machines are expensive. A great machine can do one in days. We put it together by hand.
Why are people rude,this lady was doing something nice for her,home she could be gossiping about people, say derogatory things,she could be a thief,so let her do these nice things,if you can’t say anything nice then say NOTHING From Nellie in Scotland.
Ellen Hanna -- you are forgetting that youtube is a communication forum intended to teach, learn, exchange ideas, argue issues, offer encouragement, pay compliments and criticize, and sometimes even suffer the insults and other consequences of posting one's ideas. If you expose yourself to this kind of media and medium, you had better be a big girl and big boy and deal with the result. Otherwise, if one cannot stand the heat, then he/she had better stay out of the kitchen so he/she doesn't get hurt.
Tacks, that is not even a little bit correct. People got way too comfortable hiding behind screens and being jerks. This isn't a debate forum. It's not Twitter. Your name made me think of the word "tact", something sadly and often missing in some people. Many sites have completely removed comment sections because the behavior was not constructive. There is certainly room for *constructive critique* but that is about using what YOU know to help someone else do better. I learned that very young, because I performed a lot. I also grew up with constant verbal abuse at home, so I can absolutely tell one from the other. One builds up. The other tears down. Let's do better.
Hello Kelly, I just saw your decorative towel on you tube. I just loved it. And right now during this epidemic of coronovirus and everyone is suppose to stay in is a great time to do this. Im 62 yrs old and have health problems so i do not go out anywhere. I do keep a towel in my bathroom just for looks, and my 45 yr old son knows better than to touch it. Mine are not really much in the way of decorative but i fold my bath towel a certain way and i use a pretty shower curtain ring on my hand towel which goes over the bath towel. And just fold a washcloth over the towel. What you did gave me some ideas and im going to start today. Thank you so much Kelly. God bless you.
WOW! Great , clear , blow by blow instructions . What a great craft. It's easy , inexpensive, a money saver , the joy of I did it myself and so pro looking. Thank you for sharing.
I wonder if it would work for a bed runner. I keep finding great fabric I love, but my sewing skills are mostly fixing hens and sewing on buttons :) I wish I'd had someone to teach me to sew, especially because I'm trying to redecorate my room on a teeny budget.
Love your tutorial I can’t wait to make these for a friend she is remodeling her bath and I would love to make this for her bath I may switch the bow for a sea shell. Thank you Kelly for sharing your video. You are an amazing teacher.
Thanks Kelly, I made some decorative towels also, I found some really pretty wide gathered lace, added a ribbon and I was good to go, I have had these towels for over ten years and they still look like new. Great tips and inspiration to DIY something. See you in your next video.
YES! You can buy a simple curtain (and curtain, or sheet) and add so much. I leave my fancy shower curtain on a separate rod in front of a plastic waterproof curtain. Always add one or two large tassels (I'm into Victoriana) Easy!... isn't it funny what we picked up by watching our mothers as children? Now Kelly is reminding me even more! Great ideas
I loved the way you designed and made the decorative towels. Thank you so much, very creative. I do want to see how to make the towel bathroom curtains with a valance. Great job!
Girlfriend, you are AWESOME!! I,too have made some of my own towels and it is so much less expensive than buying them from the big box stores!! Thanx for sharing Kelly!!
Kelly I absolutely love this look on you I love you and your creations are unbelievable I admire you and every day I am watching your videos because I can’t get enough of the crafts that you come up with I have adult children and I have 16 grand children two of which are in high school three I’m sorry and I love how you have your daughter keeping busy with the craft and her UA-cam channel we need to do more Of that with our kids and grandkids neighbors the kids to keep them out the street in a positive mind with a good outlook please keep up the good work and don’t ever stop this! Have a blessed day
What part of decorative did you simpletons not understand!!??? She clearly stated they were not to be used just to look good.... Don't like it??? Don't watch!!! Or better yet stitch your damn towels!!! I think you did a great job thanks for your time and sharing this idea
These are lovely (and I also get the Costco towels....thanks for letting me know when they’re on sale!). I have 4 sons so even if they were out of reach in the guest bathroom, they’d somehow get used, and not in a dainty fashion. Ah well....love my life!!!!
Either way if you sew them then thats great for you! This is a great idea and simple for those who dont know how to sew. Still cute and I love it!😊🙌 I enjoy your video's. Thank you for sharing🙌
Hi Kelly, this is a great tutorial especially because you show how you don't need to sew which would put some people off. I think they look lovely, I would sew them myself as they can be washed without them falling apart and also so they can be used as a normal towel. Saying that I still say these are a lovely idea. I have to say though, I can't believe the amount of basically rude comments from some people ! It's ok to voice an opinion but there's no need to be rude, I always say if you can't be polite then don't say anything at all. Please don't let the rude comments upset you, your tutorials are great. Thank you 😁 I was so sorry to hear about your sister, I'm so sorry for your loss x
VERY NICE! I did this in my Victorian home in all 3 bathrooms and went nuts! There is so much pretty, beaded dangling fringe out there to choose from. I use a few different but coordinating fabrics and beautiful grosgrain ribbons. Because you don't need much it was very cost effective! It's been quite a few years, but they've held up great, however it's time for change! Funny, I started just before watching this! I'm incorporating velvet! Now, what else can we make withe this easy, fun method? Some kitchen towels? Pillow shams? Jazz up a table runner or some curtains! I am not a great sewer, but I remember watching Mom laying fabric over the sofa and cutting and sewing slipcovers! So, I tried it on my beds! Just common-sense cutting squares! adding trim made then so pretty. In my guest room I copied the fabric design of blue hydrangeas on 2 end tables I rescued.... Oh my! I'm rambling on. Thank you for re-inspiring me! I've been ill for a while now, but many of these projects are manageable with huge impact! Starting with towels! you always have different ideas than many other channels. I just found you about a month ago. Prayer to your family.
Just wanted to say hello I was scrolling through utube and found your channel Im loving it really love your stove cover by the way.. We are building a home and I really have been looking for inspiration, ideas how to make some of my own DIYS I know what I like and it usually ends up being very exspensive so I want to try saving some money instead of giving it away all the time and make my own.. I have a quilted shower curtain which I love paid to much for so I want to try making my own. Would love to see a video on quilted shower curtain .. Love the channel look forward to watching more videos and doing some of my own diys.
Thanks for the idea of heat bond gonna try that ,I've never used that product before. Ur towel's came out nice good job... Tfs n I agree we can sometime's do thing's ourself alot cheaper.😉
How can you have a bathroom towel that can’t be washed?? It might be decorative but it is going to get germs because it is in a bathroom and unless you have a “Don’t use” sign, someone is bound to use them anyway.
This is the first time I have viewed your video and these towels look fabulous. I just moved and I have my own bathroom and so does my husband. You just helped me save a lot of money. Instead, I will be using the ideas I just learned from you. Thank you, Kelly. I will be following you closely.
Just because of these people our society is full of hatred. Then we blame our youth they are misbehaving they have no manners. If adults are hurting feelings of others what can we expect from our next generation. Kindly be polite and respectful. I got it its hard for you then. ....keep 😐
Me either becuz my bathroom has decorative towels that aren't used. There is always another towel to dry hands on or paper towels. I guess some ppl don't know these simple things.
@@3catsn1dog then perhaps they could post their own video about quilting a towel. If you are lucky nobody will post comments about what they would do better. It's bad manners.
I love this idea. Thank you for sharing. I have always wanted a balance scale but a little pricey for my budget. I would love to make one but not sure how to do it. Can you make one using DT items. For decor only
Same I won't buy any towels that are not washable and durable. And there is no such thing as decorative in my house. Everything nice gets ruined. I used to try but after 14 years I've given up having nice things
You can still have a decorative towels bought on sale and safe to use. I can just see that towel after a kid runs in uses the toilet and the whole thing falls to pieces lol. Not saying this happens to everyone but kids do wash their hands on the fly and that's a good thing :)
Uh, yeah. My hubby doesn't understand the concept of "just for pretty". I've long ago given up on that. The next house we get has to have coffee colored flooring, ... walls, ... and possibly even the ceiling. Ugh. Wouldn't trade him though! 😍
I am doing my Master bedroom and bathroom over and I've been looking for DIY'S so I thank you for sharing your ideas with us, I will be making my list of things I will be needing. ❤
This is absolutely awesome idea,creative,economical&with a personal touch..kudos to you & keep it going , you are really he'll of a person with lot,s of creative touch..💜🖒💜
I love your diy videos. I would like to know about the object on your drawers to your left. Did you make it and is there a video for it? Thank you so much for your wonderful videos and creativity.
Alison Grace this can also be done on a sewing machine as well to eliminate the no wash thing. I do love cute towels though. I'll have to recreate this on my setting machine for sure.
I thought the video was about decorative towels, "decorative" being the operative word, not "practical." $6.00 and a little time, I would trash when dirty or tired of looking at! Thanks, video creator, I'll certainly say a few bucks because of your DIY tutorial....and yes it will be more durable for washing if a sewing machine was used. Thanks again.
These are cute, but I saw at the end of the video the examples you show of the 3 completed towels you’ve done and they sure look like they have been sewn at the edges. I just thought you said it was a no sew project. Maybe you wanted us to see a towel completed with a machine and for us to see the difference?? Anyway they were nicely done and as everyone else is saying I too would like to see the shower curtain as well as the window coverings. But I did notice that you didn’t say they were no sew projects as well. So are they? Can’t wait to see.
Bridget Willis I did see the set of three yes. You put them together the same as you do with the heat n bond. I just wanted to show in the tutorial the no see way because in my experience not to many people want to sew 🧵 😞 I personally love to see
These are beautiful towels. 😄 I've done something similar to plain pillowcases. It just adds an extra decor punch! Please do a DIY Shower Curtain video. TFS
Just happened to notice this video, this will make GREAT towels for the bathrooms for Christmas( and to give out as gifts!),, thanks for the DIY idea, I am already working on serger tree napkins and a tree skirtl but this is no sew, and can actually get the kids to help ! One hint (, just bc I have done this myself) I always use an iron cloth when working w anything sticky,, have had to clean my iron more than once! Thanks again!
Love your decorative towels, they are beautiful and thank you for showing us how simple it really is to do💖 And yes I would love to see how you've made your own shower curtains and window curtains👍👍😃 I will keep my eye open for those, thank you Kelly, keep up the good work🤗💖
Lovely. And has given me ideas for tea towels. Cushion covers. Wonder Web is semi permanent. I have used it in the past. If items are washed or go into the washing machine it will come away from fabrics. However. For use as a quick fix instead of sewing then why not?. 💖🙌
Along with whatever anyone else is say, I would like to know what kind of iron you are using. I didn't notice a cord. I love a good iron and I love what you do. I am a big fan of the Dollar tree crafts.
Hi Kelly. Usually you prewash fabrics before using them but you didn't mention prewashing the towels or fat quarters. Does that affect the bonding of the materials?
Hi Kelly! Nice going girl. Never would've thought about this myself. Turned out fantastic. I'd like to see more of your DIYS like this. Thank you for the tutorial and God's Blessings.
I was wondering that too. We use the hand towel in our restroom to dry our hands. I did not know that people place paper napkins in the restroom also. Interesting.
To make sure you don't ruin the ribbon use a pressing cloth. Very pretty towel. I used to make my own but I sewed mine. This is good way for non sewists to create lovely decor.
Decorative towels cost a small fortune. You can get a deco bath towel, hand towel and wash cloth for upwards of $50-$60 ...typically at least that. I do my own- save a lot of money and have a one of a kind set. But... ohhh boy! I can’t wait to try this your way!! I’ve never used that heat & bond tape before. Those look soooo good! You did awesome! And you’re so right. I little bit of personalization can go a very long way. It can make all the difference in your home! Good video. Thanks so much for the idea.
I swear by that Heat n Bond, its the best stuff ever! I use the hem rolls, and the big sheets. It's SO much nicer to use with fabric DIY's instead of hot glue that SO many YT'ers choose to use. TYFS Kelly. 💘💘💘
I've never used the Heat Bond strip adhesive. Very handy! Will it stand up in the washer if I wanted to wash the towels? You make your own shower curtains! They can be so pretty AND expensive. Do you have any recommendations for a shower curtain liner that washes well? An issue I deal with is my shower curtains bellowing inside the shower/tub. Not all liners have enough magnets or weights to keep the liner still. THANK YOU!
I have used fabric shower curtain liners for ages! Washable and mildew free. Just throw in washer, then hang on shower rod still wet to dry. No wrinkles! Pretty sure available most stores that carry shower curtains but several available on Amazon.
I personally use the heavier vinal mold mildew resistant liner,from linen and things, $14 ,wash in warm bleach water, 2x a year, I have had mine for 15 years😆
I used the heat tape to put hems in my daughters Sophia's school uniforms that I washed with no problems at all , it is permanent ,also a lot faster then sewing Love this stuff
Thank you so much Kelly, they turned out so pretty and fancy, such a wonderful idea. If you would like to show us anything that you make I think that would be awesome! I love everything you do. Keep em coming girl!!
i would love to see you do a victorian style diy. I love your diys and I am currently decorating my new home in the victorian era. Anything you could recommend would help a great deal. Thanks for all the things you have taught me already. Much Love.
I absolutely love your channel, I am always looking forward to how you make your home so beautiful with a budget. I don’t have a lot of extra money and you do crafts that make me feel like I can do it as I am not good at coming up with my own ideas. Keep up the good work!
I haven’t bought new towels in 20 years. Lol, every year would be fun.
Why do so many of you feel the need to make derogatory comments on this video? They are decorative & lovely. I think a lot of people use the excuse of being “honest” when in fact, they’re just using honesty as an excuse to be rude.
IKR, o my geez I love this idea! I do NOT sew, so to be 💯 honest if a video says,
" No sewing" im jumping on it😍
" Keywords"
*NO sewing
* DECORATIVE hand towel,
She delivered just that, on point!

Heat bond is a dream for people who can't sew, or for quick hems. I have about 12 rolls of the stuff! Thanks for another awesome video!

Would also be easy to sew on the sewing machine. Lovely towels!
VERY NICE! I did this in my Victorian home in all 3 bathrooms and went nuts! There is so much pretty, beaded dangling fringe out there to choose from. I use a few different but coordinating fabrics and beautiful grosgrain ribbons. Because you don't need much it was very cost effective! It's been quite a few years, but they've held up great, however it's time for change! Funny, I started just before watching this! I'm incorporating velvet! Now, what else can we make withe this easy, fun method? Some kitchen towels? Pillow shams? Jazz up a table runner or some curtains! I am not a great sewer, but I remember watching Mom laying fabric over the sofa and cutting and sewing slipcovers! So, I tried it on my beds! Just common-sense cutting squares! adding trim made then so pretty. In my guest room I copied the fabric design of blue hydrangeas on 2 end tables I rescued.... Oh my! I'm rambling on. Thank you for re-inspiring me! I've been ill for a while now, but many of these projects are manageable with huge impact! Starting with towels! you always have different ideas than many other channels. I just found you about a month ago. Prayer to your family.
This was awesome idea I love it!!! thanx 4 sharing.👍👍
I too would love to see more of your DIY
And more dollar tree too....
Just wanted to say hello I was scrolling through utube and found your channel Im loving it really love your stove cover by the way.. We are building a home and I really have been looking for inspiration, ideas how to make some of my own DIYS I know what I like and it usually ends up being very exspensive so I want to try saving some money instead of giving it away all the time and make my own.. I have a quilted shower curtain which I love paid to much for so I want to try making my own. Would love to see a video on quilted shower curtain .. Love the channel look forward to watching more videos and doing some of my own diys.
Thanks for the idea of heat bond gonna try that ,I've never used that product before. Ur towel's came out nice good job... Tfs n I agree we can sometime's do thing's ourself alot cheaper.😉
Another awesome no sew DIY! I love it!
How can you have a bathroom towel that can’t be washed?? It might be decorative but it is going to get germs because it is in a bathroom and unless you have a “Don’t use” sign, someone is bound to use them anyway.
This is the first time I have viewed your video and these towels look fabulous. I just moved and I have my own bathroom and so does my husband. You just helped me save a lot of money. Instead, I will be using the ideas I just learned from you. Thank you, Kelly. I will be following you closely.
It is very common to have decorative towels that you dont use. The description says what it is. I dont understand the trolling
Trigger Toes thank you people are being out right ugly about decorative towels! I don’t get it
What trolling? All I can see is praise, praise, praise for miles!.
Just because of these people our society is full of hatred. Then we blame our youth they are misbehaving they have no manners. If adults are hurting feelings of others what can we expect from our next generation. Kindly be polite and respectful. I got it its hard for you then. ....keep 😐
Me either becuz my bathroom has decorative towels that aren't used. There is always another towel to dry hands on or paper towels. I guess some ppl don't know these simple things.
@@3catsn1dog then perhaps they could post their own video about quilting a towel. If you are lucky nobody will post comments about what they would do better. It's bad manners.
I love these! I had forgotten about what great gifts they are
I would love to see more diys like this...absolutely beautiful
They sure came out beautiful!!!
How do you think these amazing ideas up?? I can't wait to make my own decorative towels and some for my friends as well! 😄
I love this idea. Thank you for sharing. I have always wanted a balance scale but a little pricey for my budget. I would love to make one but not sure how to do it. Can you make one using DT items. For decor only
Beautiful . I'll add a wipe stitch or straight stitch. So safe washing. In my house nothing is safe. 😡 that still true even though were empty nesters.
Mine too. My husband's even worse than my boys
Same I won't buy any towels that are not washable and durable. And there is no such thing as decorative in my house. Everything nice gets ruined. I used to try but after 14 years I've given up having nice things
You can still have a decorative towels bought on sale and safe to use. I can just see that towel after a kid runs in uses the toilet and the whole thing falls to pieces lol. Not saying this happens to everyone but kids do wash their hands on the fly and that's a good thing :)
Uh, yeah. My hubby doesn't understand the concept of "just for pretty". I've long ago given up on that. The next house we get has to have coffee colored flooring, ... walls, ... and possibly even the ceiling. Ugh. Wouldn't trade him though! 😍
I am doing my Master bedroom and bathroom over and I've been looking for DIY'S so I thank you for sharing your ideas with us, I will be making my list of things I will be needing. ❤
I love that iron.
This is absolutely awesome idea,creative,economical&with a personal touch..kudos to you & keep it going , you are really he'll of a person with lot,s of creative touch..💜🖒💜
Like what you did there. I would like to see a tutorial on how to make fabric shower curtains. Thanks you for such creative ideas. Dee
Doing a shower curtain involves button holes..much advanced than a no sew video.

How ingenious! I love this! Thanks for sharing!!!
Don't people ever actually READ what these crafter are saying? The lady said DECORATIVE not to use !!!!
Nice to see you makeing lovely things it's such a personal touch thankyou for inspiration x
I would love to see how you make curtains. Love your videos!!!!
I love your diy videos. I would like to know about the object on your drawers to your left. Did you make it and is there a video for it? Thank you so much for your wonderful videos and creativity.
I’ve done that to some of my towels in the past but I finish the back to look like the front. Maybe I go too many steps, lol 😂
I simply love doing any type of DIYs, thank you for sharing your talented gift!
These towels look nice, and you're obviously very creative, but they're not practical if you can't wash them in the washing machine.
Alison Grace this can also be done on a sewing machine as well to eliminate the no wash thing. I do love cute towels though.
I'll have to recreate this on my setting machine for sure.
Alison Grace sorry, I meant sewing machine LOL
It's about being decorative not for practical use
,.
I thought the video was about decorative towels, "decorative" being the operative word, not "practical." $6.00 and a little time, I would trash when dirty or tired of looking at! Thanks, video creator, I'll certainly say a few bucks because of your DIY tutorial....and yes it will be more durable for washing if a sewing machine was used. Thanks again.
I love these quick crafts, please make more!
Love this idea! And I don't sew, so the heat bond is awesome!!💖👍
Great video! I made curtains for my bath. Now I’ll make coordinating towels.
These are cute, but I saw at the end of the video the examples you show of the 3 completed towels you’ve done and they sure look like they have been sewn at the edges. I just thought you said it was a no sew project. Maybe you wanted us to see a towel completed with a machine and for us to see the difference?? Anyway they were nicely done and as everyone else is saying I too would like to see the shower curtain as well as the window coverings. But I did notice that you didn’t say they were no sew projects as well. So are they? Can’t wait to see.
Bridget Willis I did see the set of three yes. You put them together the same as you do with the heat n bond. I just wanted to show in the tutorial the no see way because in my experience not to many people want to sew 🧵 😞 I personally love to see
@@KellyBarlowCreations I wish I could sew.. LOL Anyway Love the look and would like to try myself. thanks for sharing.
Very nice.You made it look so easy. Thanks for sharing.
These are beautiful towels. 😄
I've done something similar to plain pillowcases. It just adds an extra decor punch!
Please do a DIY Shower Curtain video. TFS
Just happened to notice this video, this will make GREAT towels for the bathrooms for Christmas( and to give out as gifts!),, thanks for the DIY idea, I am already working on serger tree napkins and a tree skirtl but this is no sew, and can actually get the kids to help ! One hint (, just bc I have done this myself) I always use an iron cloth when working w anything sticky,, have had to clean my iron more than once! Thanks again!
Very pretty. But in England, this sort of thing would be considered very twee and ‘Hyacinth Bucket’. 😃
🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂
I can't fathom having towels that can't be used! 😂😂
It's Pronounced BOUQUET 🤣🤣🤣
I'm not from England. So just what does that statement mean ?
Those turned out beautiful, love it,
Love your decorative towels, they are beautiful and thank you for showing us how simple it really is to do💖 And yes I would love to see how you've made your own shower curtains and window curtains👍👍😃 I will keep my eye open for those, thank you Kelly, keep up the good work🤗💖
Lovely. And has given me ideas for tea towels. Cushion covers. Wonder Web is semi permanent. I have used it in the past. If items are washed or go into the washing machine it will come away from fabrics. However. For use as a quick fix instead of sewing then why not?. 💖🙌
Oh yes😆I would love to see how you do curtains, and shower curtain 😆 kitchen towels as well ,I happen to love rosters btw lol😉
Along with whatever anyone else is say, I would like to know what kind of iron you are using. I didn't notice a cord. I love a good iron and I love what you do. I am a big fan of the Dollar tree crafts.
Curtains would be nice. My mom taught me a simple way but it involves some hand sewing.
@@cathyappnel540 it said SHARK on it..
Kitchen towels please.
@@cathyappnel540 Ummm, it has a cord. Goes up the back.
Hi Kelly. Usually you prewash fabrics before using them but you didn't mention prewashing the towels or fat quarters. Does that affect the bonding of the materials?
Hi Kelly! Nice going girl. Never would've thought about this myself. Turned out fantastic. I'd like to see more of your DIYS like this. Thank you for the tutorial and God's Blessings.
I absolutely love your towels!
If these are to be seen but not used, where do your guests dry their hands?
On the decorative paper napkins.Obvy
I was wondering that too. We use the hand towel in our restroom to dry our hands. I did not know that people place paper napkins in the restroom also. Interesting.
@@milissae I would hang an un.decorated towel on the bar with the pretty ones
😂
Papar towels
To make sure you don't ruin the ribbon use a pressing cloth. Very pretty towel. I used to make my own but I sewed mine. This is good way for non sewists to create lovely decor.
Is that brick on your wall or is that a wall paper?
Queen D it’s real rock that comes in pieces
Decorative towels cost a small fortune. You can get a deco bath towel, hand towel and wash cloth for upwards of $50-$60 ...typically at least that. I do my own- save a lot of money and have a one of a kind set. But... ohhh boy! I can’t wait to try this your way!! I’ve never used that heat & bond tape before.
Those look soooo good! You did awesome! And you’re so right. I little bit of personalization can go a very long way. It can make all the difference in your home!
Good video. Thanks so much for the idea.
I swear by that Heat n Bond, its the best stuff ever! I use the hem rolls, and the big sheets. It's SO much nicer to use with fabric DIY's instead of hot glue that SO many YT'ers choose to use. TYFS Kelly. 💘💘💘
Little Crive DIY's It v
Love love love!!! Absolutely perfect!
I would love to see DIY shower curtains!
Me toooo
these are lovely, I like the colours.
I've never used the Heat Bond strip adhesive. Very handy! Will it stand up in the washer if I wanted to wash the towels?
You make your own shower curtains! They can be so pretty AND expensive. Do you have any recommendations for a shower curtain liner that washes well? An issue I deal with is my shower curtains bellowing inside the shower/tub. Not all liners have enough magnets or weights to keep the liner still. THANK YOU!
Denise Marie yes just wash on delicate❣️
I have used fabric shower curtain liners for ages! Washable and mildew free. Just throw in washer, then hang on shower rod still wet to dry. No wrinkles! Pretty sure available most stores that carry shower curtains but several available on Amazon.
I personally use the heavier vinal mold mildew resistant liner,from linen and things, $14 ,wash in warm bleach water, 2x a year, I have had mine for 15 years😆
I buy my shower curtain liners at Lowes. Great quality.
I used the heat tape to put hems in my daughters Sophia's school uniforms that I washed with no problems at all , it is permanent ,also a lot faster then sewing
Love this stuff
They are adorable!
Want to diy shower curtain
Thank you so much Kelly, they turned out so pretty and fancy, such a wonderful idea. If you would like to show us anything that you make I think that would be awesome! I love everything you do. Keep em coming girl!!
DeAnne Hampton 🧡❤️💙 you are so sweet thank you 😊
Back looks bad easy to use the same amount front and back to finish the look
I use show towels. I like this idea and would like to see more of this vein. love it, thank you for sharing.
there very nice.. YES MA'AM I'D LOVE TO SEE YOU MAKE SHOWER CURTAINS, I'M ALWAYS BUYING SOME... THANK YOU
i would love to see you do a victorian style diy. I love your diys and I am currently decorating my new home in the victorian era. Anything you could recommend would help a great deal. Thanks for all the things you have taught me already. Much Love.
Pretty! But...where are the towels you actually use?? it wouldn't be good to have to wipe your hands/ face dry on your T-shirt!
