***Kitchen Towel Plastic Bag Holder*** ~FREE~ Tutorial from Old Road Primitives...

Hi, Ladies!

I'm back for a second time today!

This time I wanted to share ORP's

Super/Easy/Quick/Fun

***Kitchen Towel Plastic Bag Holder*** Tutorial 

with all of you!

I know that a lot of you have upcoming Craft Shows

and these Plastic Bag Holders are great sellers,

not the mention the fact that you can make one up

in about 5 minutes and the supplies are fairly cheap!

Let's get started...

First you will start by measuring the width of your kitchen towel!

My little plaid kitchen towel was 20" wide!

 

Then you will cut (2) pieces of elastic

half the size, of the width of your kitchen towel!

My kitchen towel was 20", so my (2) pieces of elastic are 10" each!

 Starting at one end of your towel you will sew one of 

the elastic pieces 1 1/2" from the end of the towel!

Pull the elastic tight as you sew!

Because you will be pulling the elastic tight you will want

to run a few back stitches before starting!

This will hold your elastic in place!

If you have any left over elastic when you finish just trim it off!

This is what the end of the kitchen towel will look like!

Now go ahead and sew the other piece of elastic to the

other end of the towel!

Find the center of one end of the towel!

This is where you will stitch a long piece of jute or matching ribbon

to the towel to form a cute little bow!

This is optional of coarse!

Now, you will go to the other end of the towel

and pin a loop made from jute or matching ribbon

to the (RIGHT SIDES) of the towel, as shown in the photo above!

This will form the hanger for the towel!

Make sure that the tails on the loop are going to get sewn

in when you sew the sides of the towel together!

With RST (RIGHT SIDES TOGETHER)

Sew the towel together by sewing down the sides of the towel!

Turn the kitchen towel RSO (RIGHT SIDES OUT)!

The photo above shows what your hanger will look like

once the towel has been sewn together!

The photo above shows you what the cute little bow will look like!

And the last photo is a photo of the

finished "Kitchen Towel Plastic Bag Holder"!

(Don't look to close, I should have ironed

the towel before I started)!!!

 I ~Love~ these plastic bag holders!

These Plastic Bag Holders are great to keep in the pantry,

laundry room, garage, shed or anywhere else

you can think to put one!

Don't forget these make ~Wonderful~ Christmas Gifts as well!

Please Note...when using printed terry kitchen towels make

sure that the printed graphics are all going in the same direction

or you could end up with an upside down graphic

on your Plastic Bag Holder!
