DIY Customized Embroidery Tea Towel for a Wedding Keepsake.

This tea towel would be a great gift if you know someone getting married. You can customize it by matching their wedding colors to your thread color. Also, use left over thread to write the bride and groom's name or write a simple message to them. Read below on steps to do customize.
I used a light box but a window would work fine to trace the letters onto the towel. I think handwriting, especially cursive would also be nice to try. I do recommend planning out how the text will look on another piece of paper. This way you can mess up and it won't be any big deal.
Next, follow your guide and take small stitches around the curves so it doesn't look too choppy.
Circle any dates that may be of importance like weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, etc. Try to have fun with it and make it your own. The possibilities are endless. If you have any pictures of your stitched up tea towel, I would love to see!
Happy stitching,
Laura
