Have I mentioned my son is getting married? He is. Be prepared for lots and lots of wedding projects in the near future. This fun little set is how he is asking his friends to be groomsmen and best men.
In this tutorial we are focusing on the flask and the box. I think the box takes it from ordinary to extraordinary. I have a another tutorial coming soon in which we will finish the box to take it to the next level.
I can’t wait to show you how this came together. I’ve got a step by step tutorial so you can make a gift set for your next anniversary, wedding, birthday, or even Valentines!
If you don’t have a Cricut yet… (you seriously need one), but you can create this by hand cutting the following rectangles and scoring each every 1/2″ down the length of each rectangle, then follow the tutorial.
You’ll need 2 strips each:
11.5 x 3″
11.5 x 2.75″
11.5 x 2.5″
11.5 x 2.25″
11.5 x 2″
11.5 x 1.75″
11.5 x 1.5″
11.5 x 1.25″
11.5 x 1″
11.5 x .75″
11.5 x .5″
OK, let’s do this! Here’s a step by step tutorial:
Thanks for stopping by. Today I am showing you how to create a decorative towel hanger with your Cricut Maker! Don’t have a Cricut Maker – don’t worry, I’ve got instructions for you, too.
I remember growing up that my mother and grandmother often had towels hanging from the front of the stove. They were attached with some of grandmother’s handy dandy killer crochet skills. Apparently, a skill that I did not inherit! 🙂 .
I wanted to create a towel hanger to keep a certain someone (sorry, Doug) from grabbing my pretty decorative towels and wiping up spilled milk on the counter. Just sayin… PAPER TOWELS! I digress.
I decided to create a pattern in Cricut Design Space (you can grab it here) and create my very own modern version of Grandmother’s Crochet’d towel holder.
I think this is the perfect gift for most every home. It would be great fun to make one for each season/holiday and gift them as a set.
I used the Cricut EasyPress to create this Rae Dunn Inspired Flannel towel holder. The Easypress also helped me create holiday towels for Christmas like this one
and this one. Excuse Wrigley… he thinks hes a prop.
I just love the fact that you can get two towel holders from 1 towel.
I added a little pom pom trim to this one! A girl has to have pom poms in her life, right?
I bet you can guess that I have a step by step tutorial for you and you can help yourself to the pattern above.

I can’t believe I’m already thinking about the Holidays! Where has this year gone? I want to get things ready a little ahead of time so I can sit back, sip eggnog and enjoy the kiddos this holiday season, so I went ahead and created this year’s personalized ornaments!
I am still working on those flannel scraps and decided to put them to use with an embroidery hoop!
To step it up a notch, I decided to create some wonky stitching around the edges, but this step is totally optional.
I think the stitching adds a little character and the handmade look, which I love.
I used a little HeatNBond, applied with the Cricut EasyPress to apply the canvas letters. You can see I reversed it on the letter D and used the flannel for the letter and the canvas for the background.
It’s a really easy way to create personalized ornaments for co-workers, family and friends!
Simply add an elastic string to the hoop closure and a little hot glued bow and voila… you’re all done! On to the next project.
