Time: 1 hour
Materials: fabric paint, plain apron, brush
You might have noticed me working on this project on Instagram over the weekend, and let me tell you, it was the easiest diy ever! For all of those who made the resolution to cook more, what better way to convenience yourself to get in the kitchen than with a hand painted apron?
Paint your design on to your fabric and let dry. Easy as that! The paint I used didn’t even require a heat set (be sure to check your instructions though!). If you’re short on time, consider making your pattern larger, like oversized polka dots or triangles.
This would also make a great Valentine’s day project for the foodie in your life!


So cute.
Thanks Amy!
I’ll never tire of this pattern, and this color scheme <3 Really really cute, Rachel. There was a time I struggled to find a cute apron and it never occurred to me to paint my own pattern- LOVE.
Aww, thank you so much Amy! And you could totally rock a hand painted apron. Would love to see what you come up with!
Totes adorbs. I love your hand-painted patterns! This is so so pretty.
Thanks Marlene! Gotta stick with the tried and true, right? :)
Good lord, you’ve got some patience! & steady hands! Totally adorable. Love, love, love.
haha let me tell you, there were breaks! It was one of those projects that I underestimated for time, but I’m still really happy with the results :) Glad you like the post!
