How to Make Personalized Beach Towels

One of the main staples of a day at the beach is a beach towel. Whether it's used to lay on the sand or dry off from a dip in the water, you can create a beach towel that portrays your own style. Customized beach towels also make great gifts for family and friends.

Things You'll Need

• Beach towel (color of your choice)
• Embroidered patches or initial letters
• Needle
• Thread
• Sewing machine (optional)
• Scissors

Instructions

1. Lay out your towel. Place your beach towel on a flat surface such as a table or the floor.

2. Arrange your design. Place the embroidered patches or initials that you have chosen as the design for your towel. Arrange the items on the towel until it looks the way you want it to.

3. Sew on the patches. With a needle and thread or with a sewing machine, attach the design items onto to the towel.

Tips & Warnings

• To ensure the patches stay on the towel, you may want to to use the sewing machine rather than hand sewing the items on the towel. Using embroidered letters is a great way to add a monogram to the towel. This is a great gift idea for weddings or bridal showers. You can also create washcloths, hand towels and bath towels that match the beach towel to create a set, which is a nice gift idea.
