    I put this gift together for my brother Cody, and his new wife, Brooke.  I try to go the homemade route whenever possible and wanted to come up with a gift that was personal, yet very practical for this young couple.

    Using the techniques in this post, I made an acid etched casserole dish as well as a large treat jar for their kitchen.

    Using the technique found in this post, I made a soap bottle for their kitchen as well.

    Then I added some of my favorite fabric to some white kitchen towels by simple sewing a band across the bottom of each towel. I machine quilted along the white vertical design so that they didn't bunch up or look wrinkled after being washed many times.
    Finally, a few boxes of cake mix and frosting and it was complete!
