A LIFESTYLE “DIY” PROJECT FOR ANYONE

Contributed by previous Guest Editors, Kayla and Amber of The Dulcet Creative

Hey Established California readers!!

Today we thought it would be fun to share some content from our blog. We love to blog about some of our own personal creative outlets like crafting, cooking and travel. Here is one of our most recent summery DIYs we think you may enjoy!!

There is something so fun and addicting about pulling your paints out and getting a little messy! This week we are sharing with you how to make your own hand painted dish towels. This was such a simple little project but a great way to dress up an ordinary item in your kitchen. 

 What you will need:

  • Plain white dishtowels

  • Fabric paint

  • Paint brush

  • Lemons or limes

What to do:

  1. Cut lemon or lime in half and allow to sit out for about an hour to dry out.

  2. Lay your dishtowel out on a flat surface.

  3. Dab the fruit with fabric paint. Cover the entire surface lightly then go back and add extra paint to the areas you would like to highlight like the rim and the triangular ridges.

  4. Practice a few times on a piece of paper to make sure the pattern looks right.

  5. Press fruit stamp onto your dishtowel.

  6. Hang to dry!

Wash the towels before using and enjoy this bright new summer-filled accent to your kitchen!
