How to Decorate Your Plain Bathroom Towels
Many of us like to have our bathrooms looking nice, regardless of what a bathroom is used for most of the times. Some of us like to have separate towels for our bodies, hands and sinks. If you are one of these people and the only towels you can afford are the plain inexpensive ones, why not add your creative touches to them, and decorate them?
Things You'll Need
- Bath towels of different sizes
- Lace of coordinating or contrasting colors to the bath towels
- Hot glue gun
- Fake flowers
Instructions

1
Take your bath towels and lay them on the table. Cut one piece of small ribbon(the size of the your towel's natural line) and two or three pieces of lace. Place the ribbon on top of towel's natural line(see picture) so that you know how it will look.

2
Put hot glue on the line of the towel and carefully place the ribbon on the line. Be very careful because the glue gun will be extremely hot. Do not place the glue gun on top of anything that could burn or melt.

3
Do the same thing for the lace and glue one lace first and then the other right under where the ending of the first lace is,so that they sort of overlap. Repeat if you are using a third piece of lace.

4
Take the fake flowers and glue right to in the middle of the ribbon on the towel. Do the same to the other towels so that they match. Admire your work and try with different color plain towels and different lace patterns and ribbons.

This sounds cute. Then do you just use the towels for decoration or will the hot glue hold the flowers in the washer? -

Hmm, now I am feeling creative! I had no plans to have fancy guest towels like these in my bathroom but am now so intrigued I think I might be trying this! Thanks for the inspiring idea. Oh--I have a low temp glue gun that has always done the trick for my projects. Not nearly so hot!
