Easiest Sewn Apron Ever

October 28, 2013 By Erica Deuel 13 Comments

Thanksgiving and Christmas are coming really quickly. I have come up with the easiest sewn apron for you to create and wear at your holiday parties. You can use it as a gift or as a simple way to dress YOU up for the festive meal. I made mine for my Spoonful Lab for me and my cute helpers to wear, so there are lots of possibilities for these pretty things.

I think the aprons cost about $1.50 each and took around 10 minutes (other than waiting for the spray paint to dry) to create. I know you are wondering “how!?!” Let me quickly tell you.

DIY_ApronThe first thing I did was buy some cheap premade aprons. These go for $1.99 at Hobby Lobby. I got mine when they were 50% off. I know you can buy this same sort of thing at a lot of dollar stores and Home Depot as well. I also found them here for $2.99, where they can be shipped to your door step.

I found that for the price and cost of time-I could not beat starting with one of these cheap base aprons.

The next thing I did was lay some thin, pretty lace down over my aprons. I made sure to have the lace pattern laid on straight and that my whole apron front was covered by it. I then used some of my pretty Rust-oleum spray paint and sprayed right over the lace. Note: Make sure you shake your spray paint can really good before starting to spray. Spray about 8 inches above the apron, and spray straight down. Do not spray at an angle or the paint will go under the lace and damage the effect.

I then cut three-inch wide strips of fabric and sewed them on to the bottom of my apron in the same way I did my ruffled shower curtain. I left the strips of fabrics’ edge raw, so there could be fray with wear. That is all there is to it!

My aprons were finished! I think the results are stunning for what I spent making them. I think you could easily do these with either fall or Christmas colors to make a simple festive gift or item to wear at your party. I picture a bunch of cute little girls wearing these for a Christmas cookie decorating party. So fun! There are lots of possibilities. They definitely worked great for me to wear at my Spoonful Lab last weekend!

Easy_sewn_apronI hope you are having a great week! Thank you so much for stopping in to check out this easy DIY!
