Sure you could bring the typical bottle of wine for the hostess with the mostess…but what about a gift that is cheaper than wine (ok, except for 2 buck chuck) & has a personal touch??!
The idea hit me when I was scouting out the Target $1 bins (are those not addictive??). I found the cutest pink microfiber kitchen towel…for…you guessed it, 1 smackaroo. I love how microfiber feels & thought…this would be the perfect apron! My sister has been really into making cupcakes lately & I thought it would be a great little hostess gift for her.
On a trip to Michaels, I found the cutest ribbon that had cupcakes on them! I know I can’t be the only one that has done a giddy dance in Michaels. (right???) I know you’re probably wondering how all this fits together. Here it is:
$1 microfiber kitchen towel
$4 Ribbon from Michaels
$0 No sew adhesive (I already had this from a previous project, since I don’t have a sewing machine)
What a neat idea! Love it!

Our family is having a reunion and I think this would be a great idea and gift for all the cooks.

That looks great! Thanks for the idea. I've been looking for a cheap way to make an apron.

Dollar Tree has $1 kitchen towels that would work and not have the static in them (kind of a linen/cotton fabric). LOVE the ribbon!

Be careful with some of the $store towels, bought a couple to do w/magnets on them for my daughters and they shrunk and squished up really small. They appeared to be like the ones I have that don't squish up and need to be ironed … they are okay for just drying dishes on but wouldn't work for apron unless you love to iron. 🙁
I love the idea though, using a towel, I'm always drying my hands on the aprons anyway.Thanks

Thanks for the wonderful idea. My daughter and many of her friends are really into aprons right now. These will make great stocking stuffers for them. I am going to add pockets to mine and a ruffle trim. Reminds me of the "Leave it to Beaver" days; which these mid-20 young women seem to be very into (the look anyway) Now………where are my pearls?

I think a small hand towel might make a matching apron for little girl.
Oh that would be adorable, Connie! Great idea! <3 Heidi
