Those beautifully illustrated tea towels hiding in your drawer are too precious to use for drying dishes! Framing them is a budget-friendly way to create wall art that matches the character and story of your life and home. The Tea Towel Frame by Corner Block Studio makes this process easy.
Why Choose the Corner Block Studio Frame?
Unlike traditional, bulky glass frames, the Corner Block Studio design is lightweight and offers a timeless aesthetic. Crafted in Australia from sustainable timbers, it uses a clever clamping system to hold your fabric taut with a soft cotton cord.
What You'll Need
- Your favourite tea towel
- An iron
- Your Tea Towel Frame (comes with timber bars and cotton cord)

3. Align the Top Edge
Slide the top edge of your tea towel between the top timber bar and the cotton cord. Tip: Focus on getting the timber at a 90-degree angle to the sides of the tea towel, rather than perfectly aligning the top edge. Tea towels aren't always sewn perfectly square, so this ensures the sides of your art hang straight.
