In my opinion, the very best DIY’s are the easy ones. I was looking for a simple and inexpensive way to make a Christmas wall hanging, when I came across a gorgeous tea towel in Adairs. It was so pretty, it almost looked like a work of art.

That got me thinking. Why shouldn’t a beautiful tea towel be used as textile art?

And that’s how this super-easy project was born.

The best part is that if you make your wall hanging using this method, you can easily switch out your tea towels for different seasonal events – or even use a more generic tea towel that could hang on your wall, year-round. The system is completely flexible. It also takes up next to no room to store!

Here’s how to make it.

DIY Christmas wall hanging

You will need:

2 pieces of flat timber moulding, each a little longer than the width of the tea towel
Black spray paint (you could also use timber stain for a different look, like in this project!)
Velcro hook and loop tape
Black cord
Staple gun
Tea towel in a Christmas design

Here are a range of beautiful Christmas tea towels, any of which would look stunning displayed as a wall hanging! Click any image to see it on Amazon.

First, spray paint your timber trim, and let it dry.

Then cut a length of velcro hook and loop tape, and attach one side to the very top of the tea towel, on the front side of the design. Try to get the tape flush with the edge of the tea towel, so it it will be covered nicely by the trim.
