Christmas Hanging Tea Towel Topper
Author: Notches Sewing
Say goodbye to towels slipping off the bar! These clever, removable towel toppers by Notches Sewing are designed to clip over any towel—no sewing onto the towel itself needed. Simply fold or gather the towel, place it between the topper, and secure with magnetic buttons or large snaps.
They’re perfect for Christmas decorating, holiday gifting, or everyday use—and because they’re removable, you can easily swap out the towel for washing without laundering the topper too.
Customise them for any season using your favourite fabrics—or keep it simple with a solid front and optional embroidery. A fun, easy project for advanced beginners and a great gift idea—why not pair a few towels with matching toppers as a set?
