Framed Tea Towel Art

Have a large wall that needs a mega dose of art to take up that vast wall space?  Don't have the funds to buy an expensively grand art installation?  Here's an easy weekend fix for you!  Easy as arithmetic...

I found these ultra mod and graphic flour sack tea towels on a cool home decor site called Erie Drive - the set of three was only $30.  The large 21"x29" NYTTJA Ikea frames (perfect size for a tea towel by the way...) were $10 each.

Stretch the tea towel around the frame backing, place in the frame, hang on the wall, and you're set to go!  I left the towels in tact, as I just tucked the excess fabric neatly behind the frame as I hung it on the wall.  That means I can use them in the kitchen should I decide to swap my tea towels out.


Does it get any easier than that?  Now I have a much less empty (and eye-catching) stairwell landing for just $60.

I found some other fabulous frame-worthy tea towels on Erie Drive, West Elm, Crate & Barrel, and Etsy (search for keyword "tea towel").

Happy tea towel searching!  (Beware, it can get addictive...)

  2. Kristen, Love the tea towels!!! I need to find some in orange and colonial blue. Or frames that color. Those are the colors I have settled on in my kitchen. Let me know if you have found any in those colors.

    So sweet. And I love the idea of not being in a kitchen!
