Do you get given tea towels by well meaning relatives who think you’ll actually use the souvenir in your kitchen? While your collection of tea towels may not match your kitchen, or if they’re just too good to get wet, turn a unique tea towel into wall art.

It doesn’t have to have been a gift as there are plenty of funky tea towels out there. Some have clever sayings and others have cool pictures. And you don’t even have to choose a tea towel, perhaps you have an off cut of fabric, or bought a length of fabric because you liked the pattern, but are unsure of what to do with it…

At any art supply store you can find a canvas, stretched over a wooden frame. Choose one which is at least 2 inches smaller than the fabric on each side. Position your fabric over the canvas, showing off your favourite piece of the picture or design. Then simply tack the edges in place on the reverse side and display.
