How to Make Monogrammed Hand Towels

I recently participated in the Great Craft Swap hosted by Wayfair. I was asked to pick an inexpensive, ordinary item and work some DIY/Craft magic on it and then send it on to another participant. How fun! Our choices were: a small wooden frame, a tablecloth, a set of three wooden cutting boards, or a set of waffle weave bar towels.
I chose the bar towels. Since they were white, I thought they'd make a good convas for my idea.
Since just about everyone these days loves monograms and anything personalized, I decided to monogram these towels with the recipients last initial.
I made my monogram using glitter heat transfer vinyl cut with my Silhouette Cameo®.
I adhered the red, gold, and green glitter vinyl initial monograms using my heat press (a Christmas present from last year)
I just love how they turned out!
And I was pleased at how well the vinyl monogram is attached to the towels and that the heat press did not flatten out the waffle weave.

Upstate NYer on Sep 18, 2015Nice idea! How do you get the ink to "set" on the towels so it does not come out in the wash?
