Tea Towel Framing Tutorial

How to frame a tea towel for your home, kitchen or nursery space! This makes a really unique gift too.

Arrangement of folded patterned tea towels.

Choose a Tea Towel.

Choose between many tea towels here. Each one is approximately 19" x 28". Iron it to lay flat nicely. There is no need to wash it before you frame.

Choose a Frame.

Choose a 22" x 30" frame. This one from Walmart worked perfectly! It comes in white as well. Shop this frame here.

Choose fabric.

You can get creative here or stay simple with white. A polyester blend lays flat with no ironing. If this intimidates you, just head to Walmart and choose one yard of their white linen or order online here.

Assemble.

Cut the fabric the same size as the backer board of the frame. Layer the tea towel over the fabric in the center and assemble the frame. The pressure should hold it in place. If it slips or wrinkles you can lightly apply this spray glue.

Step 1: Trim Fabric
