I had this vision for a piece of art on my kitchen wall…and couldn’t find it under $50! So when I spotted this vintage looking towel at Target for $2.84 I grabbed it.
I used some gel stain that I had on hand from another project and about $3 worth of wood from Lowes Home Improvement.
I used a miter saw to cut the angles for the frame (45 degree each corner)- if you don’t have a miter saw you could do square corners and it would be just as cute!
I cut the frame to fit RIGHT over the stitching on the edge because I knew I could never tighten it perfectly straight. The waves would be less noticeable on a white edge than with a brown one.
I stained the wood before putting it together.
I used a nail gun and wood glue to attach the frame edges together.
Then I flipped the frame over and attached the towel using a staple gun. I started on the bottom and then stretched it at the top and stapled it there (having a second set of hands makes this so much easier.). Be sure to pull it taut evenly.
I cut off any excess and then glued the edges down with a little Elmers glue ( to keep any fraying to a minimum)
I attached a saw tooth picture hanger to the back.
It is PERFECT for my vintage farmhouse kitchen and so easy and inexpensive!
