With a towel and a few trimmings, you and your kids can craft these cool beach and pool cover-ups.
| Prep Time: About 1 hour | |
| What you need: | |
| Towel (ours was 17 inches long and wide enough to wrap
around a child's waist with 5 inches of overlap)
Fusible bonding web (we used Stitch Witchery) Large yarn needle 1 (8-inch) piece of elastic 1 large button Fabric glue Decorations (lace, ribbon, or whatever you choose) | |
| Seasons: Summer | |
| Materials: towel | |
| Instructions: | |
| 1. | Measure and cut a towel to fit your child, preserving 2 of the hemmed edges (ours were 17 inches long and wide enough to wrap around the kids' waists with 5 inches of overlap). |
| 2. | Fold over each of the cut edges and seal them with fusible bonding web. |
| 3. | For a fastener, use a large yarn needle to make 2 holes (about 1/4 inch apart) near one upper corner. Slip the ends of an 8-inch piece of elastic through the holes, then knot them. |
| 4. | Wrap the cover-up around your child's waist, then sew a large button in place to hold the loop. Finally, use fabric glue to add lace, ribbon, or other decorations. |
