can you believe mothers day is sunday?
it was rainy and cold here early this week so to keep my little ones busy we decided to have some fun and make something for nana.
as usual, i hit the craft room.
i found some feedsack dish towels i bought at dollar tree.
then i found a pack of fabric markers from hobby lobby. i think we used these to make bookbags before?
anyways, the dish towels seemed perfect for nana.
so we got busy.
i asked the children to draw something pretty and sign their names.
we doodled and colored and traced our hands.
i helped a little (by drawing the butterfly outline, for example) but they did the rest.
i think it was fun for them to be able to scribble all over the fabric.
after they were finished, i threw the towels in the dryer for about 30 minutes on high heat just to set the markers.
that's it!
we ended up with a set of dish towels that i think nana will just love.
personalized and colorful and fun.
they are all wrapped up and ready to go!
