Embellish dish towels with an applique design.

Applique towels can be used in the kitchen or bathroom. They make easy gifts that can be tailored to match any decor. You can even make a few for yourself instead of buying more. You can sew on pre-made patterns that are easy to apply. Consider tackling an applique towel project for family, friends or yourself.

  1. Housewarming Gift

    • Kitchen towels can be appliqued as a housewarming gift. Utensils, spices and food can complement any kitchen design. Even applique animals such as owls, cows and pigs work well in the kitchen. You can use any color towel except white. If the towel is going to be used in the kitchen, you want something that won't show stains.

    Wedding Gift

    • Give the newlyweds a his and her towel set. If you do not know the color scheme of their bathroom, use the wedding colors. You can also monogram the towels. Embellish the towels with ribbon around the top and bottom.

    Baby Shower Gift

    • Appliques can be sewn onto baby towels. Make sure you choose a soft towel to apply the applique to. Rubber ducks, block letters and the baby's name can be stitched onto the towel. You can also make matching washcloths.

    Birthday Gifts

    • You can make applique towels for adults and kids' birthday presents. Sew a kid's favorite animal, or spell out her name along the a hem on the towel. Include bubble bath or bath toys with the towel to make bath time fun. For adults, add a tea towel to a gift tea or coffee. Sew coffee beans, a tea kettle or coffee mug onto the towel.
