A Kids Beach Towel Wrap is one of the most essential and most used items during Summer Vacation.

And, today I am going to show you how you can make your very own.

For this tutorial I purchased Terry Cloth fabric, from Joann’s. You can also use a basic Bath Towel.

First you are going to measure the desired length of the towel and cutting your fabric on the fold.

Fold your bottom edge over and then over again and sew in place.

For the TOP of your Beach Towel Wrap you are going to make a casing for your elastic to go through.

Do this by folding over the top edge, pin and sew. Leaving the ends open for running your elastic through.

Place a safety pin at the end of your elastic, to help you guide your elastic through the casing. Pull your elastic through until you reach the other opening.

Measure your Waistline or Chest line, then sew your elastic in place on both ends. ( only to hold it place, before you sew the sides of your Beach Towel Wrap, if you are going to Applique on it. If not you can skip this step and sew up the whole side.)

Applique: Draw out your design on a seperate piece of paper and cut it out to use as your pattern piece.

Take your pattern piece and place it on top of the desired piece of fabric.

I used a Coordinating piece of terry cloth.

Pin and Cut out. Then pin it to your Main piece of fabric, in the desired location.

Sew your Applique piece, BEFORE you sew the side seems of your towel.

I used a basic straight stitch, you can use a Zig Zag stitch if desired.

When your applique is Sewn on you can now pin your sides together and sew.

I added some bubble circles using the same technique as my fish.

For some added fun I added a Googlely eye. I attached it with some Fabric Glue and let it dry.

Such a simple way to bring some COOL fun into your summer.

These would make great gifts and would also be cute to wear to all your fun Summer swim parties.

So get creative and have fun making some of your very own Beach Towel Wraps.
