In a recent Instagram post, Property Brothers shared a video about this project with the caption: “Fresh off the (veggie) press: your next summer DIY!” To get started, you will need plain tea towels in any color, though most videos show white towels so the vibrant paint can shine through. You can buy a pack of white towels from Amazon for under $20, or check your local home stores for a set. You also want to look for fabric or acrylic paint, as this will work best with your materials. The exciting part, especially if you love the grocery store, is collecting the fresh produce to use as your stamps. You can get creative here, just keep in mind the fruits and vegetables should be firm enough on the inside to leave an imprint on the towels.
Citrus fruits and veggies like artichokes and potatoes are great options, but you can also play around with your selection. Once you get the produce home, slice pieces down the middle, or for veggies like artichokes, you can also cut off the tops and use the entire circle rather than just the profile of the item. If you want to embrace the summer season vibes, stick with bright, zesty colors like orange, light green, yellow, red, and even purple. However, if you prefer to use these year-round, you can also print with seasonal shades or timeless paint colors recommended by Property Brothers.
