Guys love everything about grilling. They like spicing up the food, putting their unique twist on the classics and most of all, they love eating grilled food! As you know, outdoor cooking can get messy and a grilling towel is just what Dad needs. I saw a really fun towel at Craft Whatever and decided to make my own version. I used a freezer paper stencil to paint “Grill It Up” on the towel and used a zipper for the hang tag.
I made a freezer paper stencil as the first step. First, I typed “Grill It Up” in large block letters and printed the words on a piece of paper. Then, I placed a piece of freezer paper — wax-side down — over the letters and traced them onto it with a fine point permanent marker.
Then, I used a craft knife to cut the letters out of the freezer paper.
I ironed the freezer paper onto the kitchen towel — wax-side down — starting at a corner, making sure that all the edges of the letters attached. Then I used a stencil brush to apply fabric paint using an up-and-down, tapping motion.
I completely covered the letters and allowed the paint to dry.
Once the paint dried, I carefully peeled off the parchment paper to reveal the letters.
Finally, to make a hang tag, I sewed a piece of a zipper to the corner of the towel by hand, opposite from the letters — you can use a sewing machine if you have one. If you don’t have a zipper, you can use a piece of ribbon or even a shoelace.
Open the zipper to hang the grilling towel on a hook.
Now it will be easier to keep clean while grilling. After grilling, toss the dirty towel in the wash so that it’s ready for the next time the man in your life wants to grill it up!
