How to Bind and Scallop Bathroom Accessories and Towels

Now that you have designed your Terry-towels, i.e. hand-sew them, you may want to add binds and scallop. Before we get started you will need to purchase an unadorned Terry towel, or towel of choice. Preferably, you want to select washable cloth, as well as medium-weight material. Consider taffeta, satin, or polyester.

How to create binds and scallop:
Once you have your materials gathered, (1) use tissue paper to create the edge of your scallop. When you draw the edge of the scallop, add an odd figure in the pattern, especially odd enough to create a curve. Create a 1 inch depth, starting at the lower point and work toward the high point. Now with your tissue in hand, fasten it to the towel, using craft pins. Next, use rotary cutters, or sewing scissors to trim the edges of your scallop. 

(2) Use your rotary cutters and/or scissors to carve the strip of hems and start piecing the strips, joining it so that it creates your strip bind. Lengthways, press your strip until it folds in half and on the left side. Avoid misleading the width of your strip.

(3) Next, on the right side of your fabric, pin the strip bind. (4) Scant darn quarter inch starting at the raw edges. (5) In the direction of the lower border or edge, press the narrow piece. Over the fabric, fold the binding ends over to the side of your cloth. Press and enfold your bind about the border/edges of your scallop and secure it with pins. Make sure that the pins insert into the trench of the seams. (6) At the trench, begin stitching in the direction of the right plane. On the left plane, baste, using the catch bind scheme.

You have completed your scallop and binding, which is the start of creating your embellished and decorative towels. Towels make great bathroom accessories, since the colors will augment your environment. Now you are ready to add bands and lace trim to your towel.

How do I know what size of a bathtub to get?
Bathtubs come in all sizes; small to very large it depends on your needs. You want to consider if you want to use your bathtub for a guestroom, master bath, etc. Bathtubs come in a variety of colors so you can't decide on what shades to fit your needs, until you explore the texture, tone, and trend of your room.

Should I choose a bathtub or shower and what accessories should I consider?
There are many different reasons that a person would choose a bathtub. I like a tub, since you can relax. Other people would take a shower over a bathtub. However, here are some reasons why you may like a bathtub.

You can use a bathtub to soak your body after long hard day at work. It will help you relax your whole body. Put in some bubbles, maybe play some soft music, and just enjoy it. Maybe you would like to read a book and light a few candles.  

A bathtub can give you options, since you can add bathroom accessories, such as flora, candles, toys, etc to fill in the gaps. Bathtubs give you the option of using the arena for other special occasions, i.e. you can add a sauna or hot tub in the tub. In addition, you can give your pet a bath in a tub.

How to Choose Bathroom Accessories and Floor Registers

Floor registers make nice accessories for bathroom. Online you will find a wide array of floor registers, which include Victorian Scrolls, Contemporaries, etc. Victorian is my favorite, yet not everyone has the same tastes or styles.

How to choose Victorian floor registers?
When choosing Victorian floor registers keep in mind that you have the options of choosing Dark Bronze, Pewter, and the Polished/Lacquered Brass. Elgan Brass is one of the higher quality floor registers. The brass texture was built from superb hangs that knew their craft. Brass registers will bring in style whether you have a country setting, or master bath. The registers add a unique touch to the room. Victorian styles give you the options of choosing Antique Brass and more. The registers are great, since it ventilates the room, and reduces mold and mildew build-up.

How to choose contemporary floor registers?
Contemporary floor registers include the Antique, Polished/Lacquered Brass, Dark Bronze, and Pewters. I prefer the Polished/Lacquered Brass, since it glows. The registers are designed to set of country atmospheres. For the master bath, you may want to choose the Polished Brass. The registers are coated with powders and dampers, which means that the register will last a long time to come.

How much do contemporary registers cost?
It depends on where you purchase the product. You can purchase the Antique Brass for around $23 online. I would shop around, since you can compare prices and texture. As well, you can view other registers, which may be of higher quality, yet at a price you can afford.

How does my floor factor into the registers design?
Good question, you should always consider your floors, walls, and overall style of your bathroom before purchasing floor registers. If you have a country setting however, most of the floor registers will go with your room. However, if you have a luxury bath, or master bath, the gold brass is the best choice. Dark Bronze will work as well, providing you have an atmosphere that matches the color.
