For Mother’s Day, I had my kiddos and my friend’s kiddos make these adorable dish towels with fabric paint. I painted their hands and they laid them on the towel, then I added the words “Mom’s Helping Hands”, their names and year.
I made the unfortunate choice of white towels, though. I mean, you know white dish towels don’t stay white and they came out so cute we didn’t want to ruin them.
Well, my friend, a.k.a. The Fabulous Neighbor T came up with a great idea for hers which I just had to copy.
Using a tension rod between the cabinets on either side of the kitchen window, she was able to use rod clips to hang her towels as curtains. Here is how mine turned out:
Now I get to enjoy my kid’s creation every day and it will stay crisp and white. They can even be thrown into the washer and hung right back up.
Do you have something special your kid’s made that you display in a unique way?


Oh they are too cute! My daughter is only just beginning her crafting skills so we are still at the ‘stick it on the fridge’ stage…
Thanks. It’s so much fun to do these things with the kids because they think it’s fun.
This is a CUTE idea! LOVE it! You inspired me to display art in a fun way. I wonder if I could turn J’s art into a fabric pattern and make something fun/useful out of it
absolutely! I think pillows or modge podge it on to painters canvas off the top of my head! Go for it!
Mod Podge. I’ll try it!
