Bathroom Towel Decorations

Bathroom towels


Bathroom towels are a functional way to accessorize your bathroom. If you have a neutral bathroom or you do not want to change your bathroom décor, towels are an easy and inexpensive way to add color and personality to your space. Decorate bathroom towels to customize the look of your room. Create decorated bath towels to give as wedding, holiday or housewarming gifts.


Sewing Projects


Sewing projects allow you to add patterns to bathroom towels. Bind the bottom of the towel with bias tape or strips of fabric for an easy customized towel. Look for fabrics that are washable and durable. Use a different but coordinating fabric on each towel so family members can keep track of who owns which towel. Bind hand towels for a matching set.


Add rows of decorative rickrack ribbon and pom-poms to decorate a bath towel. Use fabric glue if the towel is for display purposes or sew the trim on for a more durable craft. An embroidery machine can transform ordinary bath towels with monograms. Customize the towel with your child's name. For a funky bathroom, try an embroidered picture of a robot or monster for a one-of-a-kind accessory.








Towel Folding


The art of towel origami is a way to display several towels in a way that your guests will definitely notice. This is a clever way to transform a practical gift or decorate a kid's bathroom. Fold towels and washcloths to look like a teddy bear. Top off the bear with a ribbon bow tie and roses or pom-poms for eyes. Traditional napkin folding techniques can also apply to a bathroom towel. Fold the towel to look like a swan or an elegant fan to replicate a high-end hotel or spa look.








Towel Displays


The way you display towels can transform a functional item into a decorative accessory. Hang towels over an old ladder for a Zen or country bathroom that will help towels dry faster. A wine rack adds a metallic and unexpected element to towel displays, allowing you to store dozens of hand towels in one space. If you're short on storage space, roll towels and stand them in a large basket for a spa feel. Put rolled towels in an over-sized hat box for a chic display. Put a grommet on the corner of each towel to easily hang the towels on hooks installed on the door or wall.
