Aqua Crinkle Towels and Painting Tips
- we love re-purposing
- hand-dyed a pale aqua, these salvaged crinkle cotton curtain panels made up nicely into very soft, absorbent towels
- sizes and hem widths vary a bit as the entire piece was used with no waste
- perfect for a single use stack in the guest bath during cold and flu season; just use once then toss in the hamper
- plain set is suitable for use as light embroidery blanks
- painted option, priced separately, has a remaining tab for hanging; heat set acrylic paint
- 100% cotton, gauze crinkle fabric
- machine wash and dry with like colors; no bleach
- about 19" x 21"

Painting Tips
- paint dry cotton or linen towel with thin acrylic paint
- saturate enough to go through to the back for best durability
- let air dry really well; 2-3-days
- heat set with hot dry iron (ie no steam)
- put to use
- launder as usual for fabric type
