How To Display A Vintage Tea Towel Calendar
I found a vintage tea towel calendar and the colors are so vivid. I got it for a steal and now it’s hanging from a small curtain rod in our kitchen. The pretty towel was too pretty to hide away in a drawer.
Let me tell you how I put my hanging calendar together.
It all started with these three pieces bought at three different times from three different stores.
I purchased the wine sign knowing I would paint over the design. It came complete with a sawtooth hanger on the back all ready to go for a little of nothing. The small curtain rod came from my favorite junk shop and I paid a grand total of $1 for it.
I painted the sign using a sample jar of Kilz, color Almond Cake. It took two coats of paint to cover the words.
Once the paint was dry I used a pencil to mark the holes for the screws.
I used a drill to make holes for the screws then used a screwdriver to attach the rod to the board using old recycled screws.
No sewing for this project. I used double sided clear tape to make the hem for the calendar rod pocket.
I hung the calendar on the wall between our kitchen and dining area. That pop of color looks nice.
The year 1979 has no special meaning for me. I love the kitchen prayer and the cute designs. I hope you enjoyed this project. Find more of my budget projects..... Thrift Store Decor Makeovers.

I have stapled souvenier tea towels to canvas frames; then hung them on the wall in my hallway with mirror clips. I stapled the tea towels on the back of the frame by wrapping it around the edge. They are nice accents for hallway due to the smaller depth of the canvas frame.
