Rise and shine friends!

School is starting! Yes, this summer has flown by. 

My No-Sew group decided to tackle back to school this year.

I'm sharing a simple No Sew Rooster Kitchen Towel that can be used to wrap my banana bread recipe or goodie of your choice delivered in a pretty basket or gift bag.

You will need the following supplies:

  • smooth decorative kitchen towels
  • graphic
  • computer & ink jet printer
  • iron & ironing board
  • scissors
  • tweezers
  • TAP paper (see below)

I used this (affiliate link) Transfer Artist Paper (TAP) for the first time. I first learned about it from my friend Christy from Confessions of a Serial Do-It-Yourselfer.  It is so easy to use with an iron. It looks painted! I'm so impressed with using it for the first time. It is washable. Just follow the simple instructions for an ink jet printer. It's a little pricey, but if you plan to make gifts or crafts, it is so worth it.

You will also need decorative kitchen towels. They need to be a fairly smooth finish for the image to iron on well and adhere uniformly. Here is a (aff.link) link to vintage kitchen towels on Amazon. Mine was a set of 2 purchased for $5.99 at Tuesday Morning.

 

 

 

FREE Rooster graphic found at The Graphics Fairy.

Follow the instructions for the TAP paper. I printed 2- 5×7 roosters on one sheet. I printed first on plain copy paper to get the best size for the towel before printing on the paper. I cut them out with sharp scissors so that little white was showing.

My little sidekick follows me everywhere. I washed and ironed the towels first. They had some stubborn creases. Center your cut out rooster upside-down on the towel and follow the instructions on the packaging for your iron. You'll want a pair of tweezers handy to lift up the paper after you have ironed the image while it is still hot. You can tell the image is ready when the backing begins to release from the image.

For my first time using the TAP product, I am very impressed with how simple and fast this project is. Looking forward to making some pillows as well!

Turn it into a special back to school teacher gift by wrapping a yummy baked good in it and placing in a pretty basket or gift bag. Being a former elementary school teacher, I know this would be loved and appreciated!

You can pick up great small baskets at Marshall's/HomeGoods.

Here is up close detail of the rooster. It really looks painted. The transfer material is not thick and stiff looking. That's what makes it look like it is hand-painted on. 

This would make a great gift for the following:

  • teacher gift
  • welcome to the neighborhood
  • office Christmas gift (use Christmas graphics)
  • gifts for friends

You can use the same method for many other projects like:

  • tote bags
  • pillows
  • t-shirts
  • bibs
  • onesie
  • napkins
  • runners

    What a great idea, Christy…and of course, I love the rooster! And as a retired teacher, I can tell you that baked goods would make a perfect gift! 😉 I am going to have to try TAP paper. Your images are so clear and the colors are so bright! Hugs…Debbie

Thanks so much for all the comments and suggestion Thanks so much for all the comments and suggestions about my back yesterday. I did absolutely nothing and rested it. I slept better last night, and it's much better today. Last year on this very day, I posted our winter mantel. I loved this look. We enjoyed it so much throughout January. Keep on using your fresh greenery and twinkle lights if it makes you happy! Going through old ideas has me inspired to spruce up our mantel. Sadly, I haven't really done anything to it since Christmas. I went straight from putting up Christmas to painting the mudroom! Have a cozy evening! Visit the blog with the link in bio @oursouthernhome Just type in WINTER MANTEL in the search bar.

This New thrift store makeover post almost didn’ This New thrift store makeover post almost didn’t happen! It’s the first one of the new year! I was 1/2 way through the project while simultaneously painting the mud room cabinets. Down on the floor painting lower cabinets and twisted a certain way which did something to my lower back/hip. Ugh!!!! I got it done with the help of @ashlyn_little ⭐️ I couldn’t sleep and currently on heating pad. I’m going to be useless today! Any remedy ideas? I’ve got to get back to painting! I can’t take things in disarray. Lol! I’ll be working on the laptop in bed today I guess and checking out the other projects from my blogging friends! Link in bio and stories to the blog post!

Happy New Year & Wednesday friends! @bentleywestie Happy New Year & Wednesday friends! @bentleywestie  here! My grandma has taken a little break from social media and the blog to enjoy time with us before Woods and Ashlyn started classes back at Clemson. Personally...I’m ready to see her get out of sweats and put some makeup on! She did finally get all the Christmas packed away. With the tree gone, I’ve got my other bed back in the den! I think she’s coming off a sugar high. She mentioned that all the Hershey kisses were gone. Oh, well! Things are getting back to normal around here! Maybe they’ll get me a haircut!

I’ve been wanting a pair of sequin pants FOREVER I’ve been wanting a pair of sequin pants FOREVER! I wore them for the first time out Saturday night for our anniversary dinner! @lovechicos Now I want to wear them all the time! They are so comfy, stretchy, lightweight and just freaking fabulous! ❤️ Paired them with a sweater from @amazonfashion so it toned the look down a bit. I felt dressy casual. I’m also going to be wearing them with a white sweatshirt and tennis shoes! Life is too short.....So wear the sequins! Follow me on the LIKEtoKNOW.it shopping app to get the product details for this look and others http://liketk.it/34KjY #liketkit @liketoknow.it #LTKNewYear #StayHomeWithLTK

You’ll find me here all day in pajamas. That’s You’ll find me here all day in pajamas. That’s right! I’m not doing a darn thing today. I always lounge the day after Christmas to recoup after days of cooking. After Christmas is when I can finally relax a bit and enjoy the beauty of the season. I finally watched Little Women this morning and loved. Now I’m watching season 2 of Virgin River. How are you spending your Saturday? I’ll be getting dressed later this evening for our anniversary dinner. #31years tomorrow! 🥂

Today is the BIG 52! Gulp! It’s been a cozy Chri Today is the BIG 52! Gulp! It’s been a cozy Christmas Eve Birthday with my family. I’ll admit, it’s been a busy day of chores, but it’s been extra special because the kids are both home with us. Hunkering in for the evening. Here’s a tip when you’re wanting to feel put together at home. @spanx faux leather leggings work dressed up or down! Add a pair of @isotoner.us ballet slippers and you can fake a ballet flat at home! Over the knee boots and scarf are Amazon finds. I’ll be linking the look in the #liketoknowit app soon. Merry Christmas Eve!
