Hi, I am Taylor from Taylor Made. Taylor Made is all about my favorite things... crafts, art, food, home and family. I am so excited to share this Beach Bash Craft with you today. I just so happen to love spending time by anything involving water and I also grew up only a few miles from the beach.
I am sharing the "Stake Your Claim Beach Towel" with you today and I am thinking it just might be genius. I know it is a very simple idea but how many times have you been to the beach and had a fight with your towel (and the towel won)? Here is your solution!
The Stake Your Claim beach towel is one of the most simple/useful crafts I have done all summer. I have already used it a handful of times. All you need are a few supplies. I found my tent stakes ($1.50) and my beach towel ($6) at Academy.
Do you have a button hole foot on your machine? I don't know what I would do without mine. You have to use a button in the button hole foot because that tells your machine how long to make the button hole. I chose a button slightly larger than my stakes. Just put your button in the slot and pull down.
Mark a dot on all of the four corners of your beach towel. Line the dot up with the center of the button hole foot, choose the button hole stitch and just start sewing; it does all of the work for you!
Now you have your stitched button hole. Take a seam ripper and carefully open the hole.
You now have your button holes so you can Stake Your Claim.
There you have the super simple/genius Stake Your Claim Beach Towel :) I think it would work perfect as a fun summer Birthday Gift too.
Thanks for letting me share my Beach Bash Craft with you today. I can't wait for more Beach Bash Projects! Stop by Taylor Made anytime and say Hi.

what a great idea!! do you think grommets would work?
Excellent idea! We're headed to the beach in a few weeks...and I am soooo going to do this for our towels! Thanks so much for the inspiration!
Thanks for hosting Angie... I actually went to Hobby Lobby for grommets and they were sold out, so I definitely think they would work!
For those of us who don't sew, I've heard you can buy grommet supplies at a craft store so maybe you could add a grommet option with how-to' in your tutorial? Pretty please....
How funny that several of us were thinking grommets!! I love your idea but was thinking that grommets might last a little longer - and for me who doesn't do a lot of sewing - they'd be easier. Thanks for your great tutorial!!
What a wonderful idea! I'm like these others ~ I can't sew, so I would be interested in the grommets.
