DIY an Absorbent Christmas Tea Towel | Decorate with Small Ornaments

Last year, I bought Christmas tea towels on Amazon. But they had no water-absorbing function at all—only for decoration. They just added a festive vibe during Christmas. For the rest of the year, they remained unused.

So this year, I want to find simple ways to decorate towels myself. So let me show you how easy it is to decorate good-quality Christmas tea towels.

You can enjoy the fun of making them alone. Or gather your whole family to create their own fun designs. Then give them as Christmas gifts to neighbors, grandparents, teachers and friends.

1. I was happy with their look, but a bit disappointed when using them as towels. The fabric of decorative towels is thin—that’s extremely common. You definitely don’t want to use this kind of towel to hold a hot casserole. It also doesn’t feel comfortable to the touch.
2. Their water absorption seems not strong at all, so I can’t rely on them for practical use. Their fibers take a long time to absorb water, so they’re better for use as kitchen rags for wiping up messes.

I tried wiping a few washed plates, but the towel couldn’t hold water. So I had to finish the job with a regular kitchen towel. I didn’t bother using them to dry dishes, because they couldn’t even dry my hands after washing dishes.

1. Someone roughly stitched the edges of the decorative towels. They don’t look nice as guest towels, and the corners are over-stitched. I had to re-stitch the edges to use them in the guest bathroom. This wasn’t what I expected, and they weren’t worth the price.

1. They’ll be more suitable as gifts if you put them in gift boxes alone. Put the towel into your favorite gift box, then add some pine needles and pinecones. A light brown towel will match the color of pine needles and pinecones well.
2. If you use it yourself, you can hang it on a bathroom hook and add a Christmas ornament. Christmas ornaments not only lift the festive spirit, but they also bring a sense of tradition and joy to your morning and night routines.

Kinhwa tea towels for Christmas even has a built-in loop. You can hang it directly on a bathroom hook.

       3. If you place the Christmas tea towel on the bathroom or kitchen counter, you can put a snowman doll next to it. Both the tea towels for Christmas and the snowman use fluffy fabric. During Christmas, they’ll together add a lot of warm and stress-relieving vibe to your bathroom.
