DIY Hand Embroidered Hand Towel (Shooting Stars)

Embroidery has become one of my favorite hobbies. It also has a relaxing effect. It is similar to coloring except you are coloring fabric with color thread. This hand towel tutorial is about embroidering shooting stars. It is a continuation of the previous embroidery tutorial of embroidering a hand towel. 

Materials: 

Embroidery floss/thread 

Embroidery needle 

Buttons

Hand Towel 

Embroidery hoop (optional) 

Stencil (optional)

Fabric pen/marker

Regular thread

Regular needle

Use a clean washed hand towel. Then, use a black pen or fabric pen to trace the stars onto the towel with a stencil. You can also draw the shooting stars by hand. Insert embroidery thread onto an embroidery needle and begin embroidering the stars. Fill in the stars with a different color thread. 

Next, use different color threads to embroider the bolts of light from the shooting stars. After you are done embroidering the stars, sew buttons onto the towel. This hand embroidery project will take about two or three days to do. It makes a fun decorating accent for your children's bathroom, guest bathroom, or for your bathroom. Additionally, it makes a good hostess gift if you know someone who likes handmade gifts.
