decoration of a teacloth

As Im actually abroad with limited "tea equipment" I needed to buy a simple and cheap teacloth. 2 weeks after I bought a green one, I saw this http://tea-obsession.blogspot.com/2007/01/pink-blossom-20x30.html and the idea was born. Why not to decorate that teacloth? In fact, I am not an artist, so I decided to use fabric colour(washable) with stencil. Easy and you really cant spoil anything. I googled a suitable picture, played a bit with photoshop and the stencil was ready. So I printed it to a transparent adhesive plastic sheet
 

Bought some colour - for fabric


This part took me quite long time..cutting out the stencil


Now I needed only to stick the stencil on the teacloth and paint.






I think that the colour I have will be enough for at least 5O teacloths :)

In fact Im satisfied with the result, not bad for the first time




The last thing to do is to fix the colours with hot iron..and the mission is assomplished

ps. thnx for inspiration :)

UPDATE: 2nd side of the teacloth..

Wow, how neat! I'm taking a trip to the craft store today. I have 2 dz Doileys to play with. They have been in my storage for 2 yrs now. It's time to dress them up. Thanks for the idea of fabric color!
