Add a beautiful splash of colour to your kitchen with coloured kitchen towels. The cotton kitchen towels were folded and tied. They were then designed with textile paint and decorated with beautiful lettering. Perfect as a housewarming gift or for people who love to cook.

Design kitchen towels with textile dye

Important information in advance: Pre-wash the kitchen towels without fabric softener. The textile dye is ready to use and can be used directly from the bottle. The colours can be mixed with each other. For an intense colouring, use a dry fabric. For a light colouring, moisten the fabric beforehand.

To achieve a similar result as in our example, the kitchen towels can first be folded and/or wrapped with a ribbon. For dyeing, we recommend that you prepare a small bowl with water and another bowl with the textile dye.

Moisten the fabric at the folded edges or the wrapped areas, preferably with a brush. Use another brush to apply the fabric dye to the same areas. A beautiful colour gradient will now form. To colour the edges more intensively, apply more layers of the textile dye until you have achieved your desired colour result. Now let the kitchen towels dry. Tip: You can speed up this process by using a hair dryer.
Then untie or fold the cloths. If the towels are not completely dry, let them dry again when unfolded. After the drying time, you can iron the fabric without steam.

Print out the free template and transfer it to the fabrics using graphite paper. To do this, place the graphite paper on the fabric. Make sure that the graphite side is on the fabric. Then place the printed template on top and trace the lettering with a pencil or sharp object. Use a fine-tip marker to trace the pre-printed text. The marker is ironed on from the left.

Info: Fabrics that have been designed with the textile dye can be washed in the washing machine up to max. 90°C. Fabrics that have been decorated with markers can only be washed in the washing machine up to max. 30°C, as the writing or motifs would have to be traced at a higher temperature.
