I love to give handmade at Christmas, but the truth is unless you start your present making early, it’s easy to run out of time once December rolls around.<\/p>\n

I’ve got the perfect solution for a unique handmade gift which is super practical too – TEA TOWELS<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

These aren’t your plain old boring tea towels though, they are like mini works of art. With Spoonflower<\/a> you can order fabric to be printed with your choice of designs from 1000s of indie designers or you can even create a design yourself. It doesn’t take long to hem the fabric edges so it’s a quick and easy handmade gift.<\/p>\n

But tea towels aren’t just useful for washing up, I’ve framed some really pretty ones to hang on my wall, and they make great eco friendly wrapping too.<\/p>\n

Inspired by Furishiki<\/em>, Japanese fabric wrapping, I’ve hemmed up a bunch of tea towels and used them to wrap some small gifts. It’s doubling up the joy with zero gift wrapping rubbish to throw away.<\/p>\n

I chose 6 designs that felt festive and summery with a retro twist. Each design is printed on a fat quarter of Linen Cotton Canvas Ultra fabric.<\/p>\n
