No-Sew Butterfly Flour Sack Towels With Free Patterns
I love no-sew projects, how about you? A recent trip to Anthropology inspired these Easy Butterfly Flour Sack Towels. Mixing and matching fabric, felt, buttons, and trim is a characteristic of my favorite style – Boho! E6000 Fabri-Fuse Liquid Fabric Glue from Eclectic Products makes it a quick and easy project.
E6000 Fabri-Fuse makes Easy Butterfly Flour Sack Towels
Here’s what you need to make Boho Flour Sack Towels for the Kitchen:
- E6000 Fabri-Fuse Liquid Fabric Glue
- Flour Sack Kitchen Tea Towels – Two
- Kunin Classic Felt Craft Cuts 9” by 12” – Lagoon Blue, Lilac Sky
- Cotton Fabric – Assorted
- Buttons – Button Jam
- Trims, Ball Fringe, Rick Rack – Assorted
- Straight Pins or a Marker
- Scissors
Here’s how to create Boho Butterfly Kitchen Towels:
STEP ONE
To begin the Easy Butterfly Flour Sack Towels, gather all supplies. Have fun mixing and matching colors, fabrics, felt, and trims to create a fun and happy Boho vibe.
Download and print the Butterfly Patterns from my blog post link below ⇓ OR create your own patterns with your favorite images. Owls, flowers, and hearts would look awesome on tea towels as well.
STEP TWO
Cut out Butterfly patterns and attach them to the Kunin Classic Felt with straight pins. Make one of each style of Butterfly from both colors of Felt.
Cut out Butterfly wing patterns and attach them to the cotton fabric with straight pins. Make one set of wings for each butterfly from coordinating fabrics. This is a great way to use up scraps!
STEP THREE
Assemble the fabric butterfly wings to the felt butterfly bases using E6000 Fabri-Fuse Liquid Fabric Glue. Leave the body of the Butterfly plain felt, so it can be embellished. Set aside to allow the glue to dry.
STEP FOUR
Attach two Butterflies to each flour sack towel with Fabri-Fuse. Cut four, six-inch lengths of rick rack, fold in half and attach to the top of each butterfly as the antennae with additional Fabri-Fuse. Select bright and colorful buttons and attach them to each of the butterfly bodies with Fabri-Fuse.
STEP FIVE
Measure and cut a length of ball fringe that is the width of the flour sack towel. Attach the trim to the bottom edge hem of the flour sack towel with E6000 Fabri-Fuse. Repeat with the second towel. Set aside to allow the glue to dry.
Quick and Easy Boho Butterfly Flour Sack Towels
These whimsical, quick, and easy Butterfly Flour Sack Towels are the perfect addition to any kitchen. Since these towels go together in just about 30 minutes, make a set to keep and one to gift. Pick your favorite theme or holiday.
E6000 Fabri-Fuse Makes No-Sew Projects EASY!
E6000 Fabri-Fuse® creates an exceptional bond for general fabric applications. Its extreme flexibility, stretch, and recovery won’t create bumps or bulges on fabric and will allow the fabric to remain pliable — even after washing. It bonds permanently, dries clear, and is acid-free with almost no odor. E6000 Fabri-Fuse is so easy to use, it makes all your craft and hobby projects fun and easy. Machine washable and can be sewn through once dry! Great for projects using fabric, felt, metal, wood, glass, rubber, and much more.
Butterflies can be found all over my blog, but here's one I know you'll LOVE! I love experimenting with new techniques, especially when they include my favorite Tombow Dual Brush Pens. Check out this Butterfly Watercolor Galaxy with Tombow can be completed with just a few Tombow supplies, my tutorial, and FREE PRINTABLE.

Love this craft. Could see it being done on many things. The one picture had the apron. I have a daughter that wears aprons and so do her little girls. Oldest is 16 then 6 soon to be 7, 5, and a 2 year old. This is awesome and would make a wonderful Birthday or Christmas gifts. Thank Beth for sharing.
