Earlier this year Sarahc over at AT Chicago put together a great list of additional uses for tea towels around the house. We can now add the idea above: tea towels with different designs stitched together into a kitchen curtain. Whether you put together a curtain with vintage finds from the flea market or complimentary selections from Target/IKEA/KMart, we think there's possibilities for some patchwork charm. Some additional examples of DIY kitchen curtains and source below the jump...

And you don't necessarily need to resort to a patchwork configuration using tea towels, as displayed by this crafty-nice example using red striped linen tea towels and an Ikea wire curtain system with clips.

We're still smitten with the idea and results of West Coast Crafty's vintage button kitchen curtains from awhile back. Accessorizing your curtains with some detail touches like the buttons take these tea towel curtains from "nice" to "wow, I want to steal that idea!".

Plenty of great tea towel designs to choose from at Xochi Santa Fe if you're revved to get started on your DIY kitchen curtain.
