Heart Shaped Wash Cloths Craft Tutorial

Post Views: 403

These heart shaped washcloths are a quick craft.

You can bundle them in threes, or enough for a week and add travel-size body wash or a fancy bar of soap for a really nice gift idea.

A sewing machine will be the fastest, but you can use a needle and thread and stitch by hand with no problem.

They would even be cute with a crocheted border around them. 

There are so many options to make this a thoughtful and personal gift.

My children love gifting these to teachers and neighbors.

I think they are a wonderful gift for a new mom or bride-to-be.

They’re easy enough to make you can make yourself a set!
