Here’s the Before photo. I just used some plain Flour Sack Towels from Walmart. They were super cheap! I think I paid around $5 or $6 for the pack of 5.

I used the mirrored image and used the Citra Solv Transfer method. You can find the instructions and a tutorial HERE. If you can’t find Citra Solv locally you can order it online Here at Amazon.

I had such a blast designing this printable! The French Grain image is from an tiny antique French book, that I purchased from a seller in France. I invented the name of the Mill and the address, so please don’t try to find it if you go to Paris, it doesn’t exist! The funny thing is, I had to change the address on this. I googled the first address that I came up with and it turned out, it was the address to a Paris strip club. Whoops!!! I’m sure glad I googled it before I finalized the project!

I liked this so much, I made some place mats too! I think these would be great to sell at craft shows or in a shop, if you have one. Now go make some towels, or pillows or whatever you like…. and have fun!! I hope you enjoyed this fun DIY Grain Sack Printable and Project tutorial!

    Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! Well, a strip club address might lend a unique poin of interest for the project?! I’m definitely going to do this; it’s beautiful. Thank you!

    Strip club, how funny if someone had gone to Paris looking for the mill, only to find a strip club. Love this print. Will definitely use it.

    Cheers,

    Oh my gosh! I love the grain sack graphic!! That’s hilarious about the address “coincidence”. I laughed out loud when I read that. I know I’ve said it before, but thank you SO much for sharing! Big Hugs, Heather

    What a great idea. I’m not much of a crafter, but I love graphics on flour sack towels, so I just might have to give this a go. Thanks for the excellent tutorial link, and for the wonderful graphics.

    These are great – thanks for the link to the tutorial. I have seen Citra Solv mentioned in a few blogs, guess it’s time for me to give it a try!!!

    I love this idea Karen. And I’m really inspired. I’ve downloaded a bunch of reverse images to photocopy and I’m going to give it a go this weekend. Fingers crossed I’ll have a lovely set of kitchen towels for my daughter’s housewarming.

    Love it- i downloaded a bunch of your graphics and printed some of my own type to make personalized christmas gifts. i sure hope they can be washed with out fading. thanks so much for the tutorial, and mine turned out great- the hardest part was deciding which graphics to use.
