Target Tuesday: Tree Tea Towel

If you are looking for a last minute holiday gift, this would be a great one to give.  I found this very pretty tea towel in the holiday section of the table linens department at Target.

 

It's a pale cream-colored, linen-like fabric with a lovely little green tree embroidered on it.  I chose this for today's Target Tuesday because it struck me as another one of those items that has a very hand-made, detailed quality to it. Just look at the hem stitching along the bottom.  This gives it a very high end look at a very low price ($3.99!).

 

To make my tree tea towel (try saying that five times fast!) a bit more special, I decided to "spruce" it up (bad pun intended!) with some vintage glass rhinestone "ornaments".

 

I LOVE vintage rhinestones and will have to do a post on them one of these days.  These rhinestones are very old and the colors are magnificent!  They have holes in them so that they can be sewn on, but if your pressed for time (like me), you can just use some washable gem glue. I simply trimmed my little embroidered tree with the rhinestones.  If you don't like rhinestones, you could use beads, sequins, pearls, etc...

 

 

And there you have it - a really special, one-of-a-kind gift for just a few dollars!
