CTR BAPTISM TOWEL TUTORIAL

My twin nieces turned 8 and are getting baptized in a few weeks.

I wanted to get them a special Birthday Gift.

Something for their Baptism that they could keep and remember

that special day.

I was browsing around looking for the perfect gift.

As I was looking I was inspired to make a special

towel that they could use that day and keep as a memory.

I decided to use a white towel to signify the cleanliness after baptism.

I thought it would be fun to Applique a CTR

It's the Primary Theme This year at church as well as a Wonderful 

Reminder to CHOOSE THE RIGHT.

At Wal-Mart I found this towel with the Pefect CTR green Trim. 

It was $4.

Then I used some of the 4inch letters I had left from my 

dresser makeover as a Pattern to Cut the Letters out of 

a green felt the exact color as the trim on the towel.

You can find the Dresser here.

 

I bought the felt at Wal-Mart for 47 cents. I pre-washed it, and the towels.

I folded the felt in half and cut out 2 sets of letters at the same time.

I carefully pinned the letters where I wanted them on the towel.

I used the lines to help me keep it straight:)

I carefully sewed around each letter with my sewing machine.

Tip- I used a cream colored bobbin thread to make the back of the letters
look nice and neat.

Here is the finished product.  Wal-Mart had these same towels in pastels too.

It would be cute to do this in other colors too.  You could do initials or shapes or a name.

Endless possibilities.

I found this Poem to go with the towel on Pinterest.  

It's totally perfect.  You can find the poem here.
