Since summer is unofficially over this coming Monday, you might have noticed all the end of summer sales! On this list of sale items are BEACH TOWELS! Walmart has a lot of different types, the usual kiddish ones, tweens and plain ones, but they also have some towels that are decor friendly! That's when I got this idea...
I made this using scrap wood and one...yes ONE beach towel!
I cut three sections of wood each measuring 40"x10"x2". Then I cut some smaller wood and screwed it in the back so that I would have something to hang it up with. I wish I had a before picture of the towel, but it looks just like what it does now, so I didn't have to do any measuring. I just cut down the lines of the towel where the pattern changed.
This is another one I did, out of a different beach towel from Walmart. I did this on 4 pieces of canvas, also found at Walmart. I think they are like $7 for a package of 2. The towels are on sale right now for like $9 I think. If you had enough scrap wood on hand then the only cost would be for the towel, or fabric you decided to use!

I love this idea! I need you to come to my house! I'm visiting from Trendy Treehouse.
Very clever use of such a utilitarian piece. Fantastic!
You have great ideas! Did you have any trouble with Earl? ( I see you are in the Virgin Islands from your bio.) I have been to Wyoming a couple of times, and WOW! what a beautiful place, so wide open in places and majestic in others. The Wind River area is a favorite and, of course, Yellowstone and the Tetons!
I'm following you back! I am sure I will be one of many! Enjoy your blogging experience!
