I love going through your older videos, I’m redecorating my son’s guest bathroom and hadn’t come up with anything I liked yet. Now I’m ready to go! Thank you so much Kelly, your videos are definitely my favorites. 😍👍👍

When my great nieces were little girls, I used bath towels in the usual colors pink, purple, yellow, red, orange etc. and made them their own sets. I added ribbons, bows, buttons. Each one had a emblem cut from tshirt I found at a second hand store which was attached to the bath towel like a pocket. I also used heat bond but included machine stitching and hand sewing where I needed more durability. The end result were sets of towels that all the girls fell in love with. Sister's had their own sets and stopped fighting over who's towel was who's. This was 6 years ago. My great nieces are much older but some still have their towels just stored away now. Others are still using theirs. This video has inspired me to recreate the gift again this year for Christmas and include mini spa sets now that they are older. Thanks for the post. Love your videos.

Very cute, especially for those that do not have sewing machine. Creative and lovely!

Why do so many of you feel the need to make derogatory comments on this video? They are decorative & lovely. I think a lot of people use the excuse of being “honest” when in fact, they’re just using honesty as an excuse to be rude.

KELLY MY FRIEND, GLORY HERE FROM ARIZONA. DECORATIVE TOWELS ARE SUCH A GREAT IDEA. THANKS NOW OUR BATHROOM. Will look very nice!! Love this idea!!🌿🌺🌿

I haven't read all the comments, so this may have already been mentioned, but as a long time sewist, I would recommend you try putting a pressing cloth over the ribbon before you press it. It will take care of the ribbon sticking or melting. :) Hope this helps you a little as you help us a lot with your tutorials.

That is going on my list now Super bonding. I can use it on so many different projects. I like to quilt. It’s very nerve racking and sewing machines are expensive. A great machine can do one in days. We put it together by hand.

Ellen Hanna -- you are forgetting that youtube is a communication forum intended to teach, learn, exchange ideas, argue issues, offer encouragement, pay compliments and criticize, and sometimes even suffer the insults and other consequences of posting one's ideas. If you expose yourself to this kind of media and medium, you had better be a big girl and big boy and deal with the result. Otherwise, if one cannot stand the heat, then he/she had better stay out of the kitchen so he/she doesn't get hurt.

Tacks, that is not even a little bit correct. People got way too comfortable hiding behind screens and being jerks. This isn't a debate forum. It's not Twitter. Your name made me think of the word "tact", something sadly and often missing in some people. Many sites have completely removed comment sections because the behavior was not constructive. There is certainly room for *constructive critique* but that is about using what YOU know to help someone else do better. I learned that very young, because I performed a lot. I also grew up with constant verbal abuse at home, so I can absolutely tell one from the other. One builds up. The other tears down. Let's do better.

I wonder if it would work for a bed runner. I keep finding great fabric I love, but my sewing skills are mostly fixing hens and sewing on buttons :) I wish I'd had someone to teach me to sew, especially because I'm trying to redecorate my room on a teeny budget.

Hi Kelly, this is a great tutorial especially because you show how you don't need to sew which would put some people off. I think they look lovely, I would sew them myself as they can be washed without them falling apart and also so they can be used as a normal towel. Saying that I still say these are a lovely idea. I have to say though, I can't believe the amount of basically rude comments from some people ! It's ok to voice an opinion but there's no need to be rude, I always say if you can't be polite then don't say anything at all. Please don't let the rude comments upset you, your tutorials are great.

I remember once I used the wrong towel in a friends bathroom-I was so embarrassed when she made the comment “someone “ ruined her towel. I think these towels are very adorable. I loved the comment about a hanging towel. These really are cute!

It is just adorable how you stand for niceness. So stinking cute! Adopting it as an identity completely neutralizes negative comments like a friggin' force field. There is just no room or oxygen for the negative.

Decorative towels cost a small fortune. You can get a deco bath towel, hand towel and wash cloth for upwards of $50-$60 ...typically at least that. I do my own- save a lot of money and have a one of a kind set. But... ohhh boy! I can’t wait to try this your way!! I’ve never used that heat & bond tape before. Those look soooo good! You did awesome! And you’re so right. I little bit of personalization can go a very long way. It can make all the difference in your home! Good video. Thanks so much for the idea.

Kelly for the video I ty. I personally love this idea. I had watched it before, but I did not have time last year to make them. This year I will be making them and giving for christmas gifts. As far as people saying that they are not practical. I disagree. I host Thanksgiving and Christmas every year at my house. I put out decorative towels on the towel rack FOR LOOKS !!!! But, I also provide finger towels in a basket on the counter by the sink, and guest napkins to dry your hands. Use your imagination people and get over yourselves. The fingertip towels and guest napkins are a cheap alternative to use instead of the decorative towels on the towel rack... keep up the good work Kelly !!!! kudos to you :)

If you want professional. Go buy a decorative set of 4 for $30-$40 or more. Like alot of you have mentioned, there are paper towels or napkins also in the bathroom on the opposite of the decorative towels. Closer to the sink. 'Hmmmm, use the napkins or p towels!!' And you all wouldn't know what the back looked like if you weren't being nosey snobs & looking. A bathroom with decorative towels will always have towels or napkins in them. USE THEM!!

How can you have a bathroom towel that can’t be washed?? It might be decorative but it is going to get germs because it is in a bathroom and unless you have a “Don’t use” sign, someone is bound to use them anyway.
