Adding Buttons to Hand Towels for Style and Functionality
Welcome to our DIY tutorial on how to add buttons to hand towels! We'll show you a simple yet stylish way to elevate your hand towels, making them not only functional but also a delightful addition to your bathroom or kitchen décor.
Adding buttons to hand towels not only adds a decorative touch but also serves a practical purpose by keeping the towel securely in place, preventing it from slipping off towel racks or hooks. Plus, it's a fun and easy project that anyone can do!
Supplies Needed:
- Hand towel(s)
- Buttons (choose your preferred size and style)
- Needle
- Thread (matching the color of your towel or button)
- Scissors
- Sewing pins (optional)
1. Choose Your Placement: Decide where you want to attach the buttons on your hand towel. The corners are a classic choice, but you can get creative with the placement to suit your preferences.
2. Prepare Your Needle and Thread: Thread your needle with a length of thread, and tie a knot at the end. Double-threading the needle can provide extra strength and durability.
3. Attach the Buttons: Place a button at your chosen spot on the hand towel, and secure it in place with your fingers or sewing pins. Begin sewing by bringing the needle up from the back of the towel through one of the buttonholes, then down through the opposite hole. Repeat this process several times, ensuring that the button is securely attached.
4. Secure the Thread: Once the button is firmly in place, tie off the thread with a knot on the backside of the towel. You can also add a dab of fabric glue for extra security.
5.Repeat the Process: Continue adding buttons to the remaining corner or spots on your hand towel, following the same method. Trim any excess thread from the back of the towel with scissors for a neat finish.
6. Final Touches: Once you've attached all the buttons, give your hand towel a gentle press with an iron to smooth out any wrinkles and set the stitches. Then, proudly display your newly embellished hand towels in your bathroom or kitchen!
