Shopping
To keep with the crisp clean feel of spa use white towels however, any color will look great.
We purchased our towels from the Bed, Bath and Beyond clearance section. The 4 hand towels and 4 embroidery fingertip towels cost $12.
Larger towels can also be used to make either style pillow.
Fingertip Towel Pillows
Cut tags off. Fold fingertip towel in half to form a 11”x 9” rectangle.
Place straight pins around the towel to hold fold in place. Pin slightly above the terry nap portion of the towel.
Note: Towels finished edges will be on the outer edge.
Stitch the area between of the terry nap and finished edge.
Machine stitch towel together. Leave a 3” opening so Poly-Fil® Mini Micro Beads Filler can be added. We put our 3” opening in the center of the right side.
Knot and cut threads off. Open hole for filling.
Open the spout on the Poly-Fil® Mini Micro Beads Filler bag. Set spout inside opening and pour in Mini Filler. Fill pillow ¾ full. Remove spout.
Machine stitch opening closed. Knot and cut off threads.
Pillow is now finished. Repeat above process for all additional pillows needed.
