These easy DIY Kitchen Towels make a perfect kitchen decoration or gift idea… and who doesn’t like a good food pun every now and then? 😉

DIY Pun Kitchen Towels - these are so fun! Perfect for fall decor or a great gift idea too!

Hey there, I hope you’re having a great weekend! Today I’m so excited (in a guilty pleasure kind of way) to share with you the pun loving nerd in me. I.love.puns! I think I have a pun translator built inside my brain because I’m always thinking of puns in various life scenarios or conversations. See, I told you it was nerdy. 😉 I always love a good food pun, especially when I can integrate it into my kitchen decor somehow. Win win with these DIY Kitchen Towels! Using printable iron-on gives the images dimension and texture, making it look as if they were hand painted onto the towels. I thought these have a little bit of a fall feel too… win times 3!

Fun with Puns DIY Kitchen Towels

Supplies:

  • Cricut Explore Air 2 or Cricut Maker
  • Kitchen Towel Cut Files
  • 12” x 12” LightGrip Cricut mat
  • Cricut Everyday Iron-on in Black
  • Printable Iron-on
  • Cricut Weeder Tool
  • White flour sack kitchen towels
  • EasyPress or Iron and press cloth

Instructions:

  1. Open the Kitchen Towels cut file in Cricut Design Space. The font in the file is a Cricut font called Jubilee. If you don’t have this font or you’d prefer another, you can select any font you’d like from the Cricut fonts or any font from your computer. Cricut Design Space - DIY Kitchen Towels
  2. The project will be on 3 mats; 2 for the print then cut images (2 images per mat) and 1 for the text that will be cut. Make sure to mirror the images and text since we’re using iron on. Also make sure that the “Bleed (for print then cut)” box is checked. Don’t worry about the images looking like they are blurred, the cut will take care of that.Print then cut feature on Cricut for DIY Kitchen Towels
  3. Print the images onto the Iron-on Printable material. The machine will know where to cut by sensing the black corners that print out on the page around the images. Cool, right? Allow to dry for 5 – 10 minutes before cutting. Set the dial on the Cricut to “Custom” and select “Iron-on, Printable” from the drop-down menu; cut images.Print then cut with Cricut machine to make these adorable DIY Kitchen Towels
  4. Return to the design mats and mirror the words. Turn dial to “Iron-on”; cut words.Always reverse images and type when using iron on for Cricut
  5. Using the weeder tool, remove excess material around cuts.
  6. Set iron to high. Pre-warm the towel with iron and position image on towel. Place press cloth over iron-on and press firmly with iron for 25 – 30 seconds. Continue to lift and press over entire design area. Peel backing off slowly; if any corners are lifting then simply press again.  Repeat with words.Iron on DIY Kitchen Towels with CricutCricut Iron On
  7. Repeat for remaining 3 towels.

I had so much fun (maybe a little too much!) making these DIY Kitchen Towels! Here is how they all turned out:

DIY Kitchen Towels - I love a good pun! :)DIY Iron On Kitchen Towels - these would be such a cute gift!Hello Gourd-geous DIY Kitchen Towels - so fun!These pun DIY kitchen towels are so fun!

I’m having the hardest time deciding on the towel rotation… is it wrong if I just have them all out?

DIY Pun Kitchen Towels - these are so stinking cute!

Even if you aren’t a pun lover like me, DIY Kitchen Towels are so easy to make and would make great gifts with the holidays around the corner.

Thanks for indulging me by reading about my obsession on this Punday, aka Sunday. Sorry I had to! 😉 Enjoy the rest of the weekend!

    Hi Lydia! I love this and want to make them; however, when I try to open the cut files, Cricut just hangs up and I end up having to close it out and never can get the files. Any tips?

    Thank you!

    […] These Christmas wooden spoons would make such a cute hostess or holiday gift with a holiday towel or oven mitt, or even just tied in a bow because that’s all they really need. They would also add a perfect holiday touch on the kitchen counter in a utensil caddy. They can be easily customized in different vinyl colors or patterns for any holiday or occasion, or even just in everyday colors (like my painted ombre utensils) to use as year-round kitchen decor with some fun food puns.
