DAY OF THE DEAD TEA TOWELS

Day of the Dead Tea Towels – In Mexico, the celebration of Dia de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, is practiced to honor loved ones that have departed. While celebrants offer gifts to the dead, they also offer gifts to one another such as sugar skulls. Decorations for the holiday include marigolds and banners called Papel Picado, which are intricately cut pieces of tissue paper.  

Celebrate Dia de los Muertos with this beautiful tea towel set that features both the sugar skulls and papel picado commonly found in celebrations. This set includes 3 flour sack towels: 1 all-over-print with sugar skulls (choose black or white skulls), 1 with papel picado trim, and a solid non-printed towel. Perfect for gifts, baking, and for bar use.

ABOUT BLOCK PRINTING

Our cotton flour sack towels are made by hand with block printing techniques. Each printing block is hand-carved and stamped with durable fabric paint designed to last for many washes. Block print stamps do not last forever and erode over time. Our designs are offered as a limited edition based on the life of the stamp. If you like this design, we encourage you to get it while it lasts!

Because of the nature of the product, please expect some variations in color and markings. Please also expect fading on the printing. Block printing is not the same process as screen printing, and does not produce even layers of paint on the fabric. They are designed intentionally to have variation, fading, and distinction, which is part of the appeal of block printed products.

FLOUR SACK TOWEL CARE

To extend the life of your flour sack towel, wash with cold water with mild detergents and tumble dry with heat. Iron with paint side down using the cotton setting on your iron. Although the printing does not typically bleed, wash with like colors.
