Make your own pillow!


Use a French Silver design for your own arts and crafts project!


Obviously, there's a lot of creative people on Etsy.  From time to time, I have someone tell me that they are using a tea towel for an arts and crafts project.  They like the design, but they want to use it for something else.  I thought it would be fun to share what people are are doing with the towels.

Okay, technically, THIS wasn't a towel.  It was a piece of 18"x18" osnaberg fabric (an inexpensive linen alternative) that I printed our "Drink Up Witches" design onto for my mom.  But hey, you could use our flour sack towel, too.  She added her own Halloween fabric and filled the pillow with plastic grocery bags rather than stuffing because she was leaving it on her screened in porch.  I need to experiment, but I think if you wanted to use a towel, you'd need to line it so the color of the bags doesn't show through.

You can check out our designs and see if there's one you'd like to make into a pillow.  AND, keep in mind, we can do custom printing!
