DIY: Patriotic Dishtowel Apron

Need an easy and frugal hostess gift for the 4^th?  Or just whip one up for yourself to sport the red and blue while you’re cooking up a feast. 

Use this simple method for any occasion with inexpensive dishtowels!

MATERIALS

• 2 dish towels in red and blue color scheme (I got mine at Dollar Tree)
• Spool of 1.5” ribbon

INSTRUCTIONS

Begin by cutting out a 6” x 9” rectangle from the blue towel

Place it in the top left corner of the red towel and pin in place

Using a zig zag stitch, join the two pieces together

Cut the 2 ribbons to your suited length.  I cut mine at 36”.  I like a long ribbon tail.

Attach one ribbon to the side of the top of the apron.  Fold a small part of the ribbon under and pin in place

Use a zig zag stitch in a square pattern to attach.  Repeat with the other/ribbon side

Have a festive Fourth of July with your family and friends
