DIY Monogram Towels and a Spa Gift Basket

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #AmopeForTheHoliday #CollectiveBias

I need a spa day. I bet you do, too. And your friend or sister? Yep, she does, too. But, we all know that spa days are difficult to acquire sometimes. Between work, kids, and other commitments, a spa day can seem out of reach. Give yourself or someone you love the gift of a spa day at home with a Spa Gift Basket this holiday season. And, if you’re feeling crafty, add a personalized touch with these DIY Monogram Towels.

 

DIY Monogram Towels with heat transfer vinyl AD

 

Supplies:

  • Iron-on heat transfer vinyl
  • Cutting machine (I’m using a Cricut Explore Air 2)
  • Plain towel
  • Iron
  • Thin piece of cotton
  • Tape measure

Measure the space where the monogram will go.

Using this measurement, create the monogram in the design software for your cutting machine. I’m using Cricut Design Space.

Cut the design on the vinyl. Be sure to mirror your image before cutting!

“Weed” the vinyl, which is a fancy term for removing the vinyl that doesn’t belong. Apply the vinyl to the towel.

Place the thin cotton over the monogram. Iron, pressing the iron for several minutes per area. Press firmly in each section. Remove the liner when finished to reveal the final design!

    What did you mean by thin cotten?What is that?

      Hi, I just use a piece of cotton material from my sewing scrap stash. I just mean do not use a thick cotton towel or something similar. The goal is to protect the heat transfer liner and vinyl from melting from the heat of the iron, but do not use a material so thick that the heat does not adequately activate the heat transfer vinyl so that it can adhere to the shirt (or whatever you are making).

    I love this! So much cheaper than embroidery…besides, what college girl doesn’t love anything monogrammed???!
