Turn Kids' Collage Art Into Custom Tea Towels

There’s something incredibly heartwarming about turning a child’s artwork into a cherished keepsake. At Expressions Tea Towels Australia, we help families and communities transform hand-crafted collage masterpieces into eco-conscious, custom printed tea towels, tote bags, and aprons, beautifully designed, proudly printed and ethically sourced right here in Australia.

What Is a Collage?

A collage is a piece of art created by assembling various materials—think scraps of fabric, photos, paper, or natural elements, onto a flat surface. The word "collage" stems from the French term coller, meaning "to glue." It’s a wonderfully tactile and creative way for children to express themselves using materials you likely already have at home.

Materials for a Memorable Collage

Every collage tells a story. Encourage your kids to explore their creativity using:

  • Magazines, newspapers, junk mail
  • Recycled items: bottle caps, packaging, plastic lids
  • Tissue, wrapping or construction paper
  • Leaves, feathers, sand, bark, flowers
  • Scraps of fabric, ribbon, wool
  • Buttons, sequins, googly eyes, pom poms
  • Family photos or printed images
  • Stickers, foil, tinsel
  • Dried pasta, lentils, seeds, rice

From Paper to Product

Creating your own custom printed tea towels in Australia is surprisingly simple. After your child completes their collage, follow these steps:

  1. Take a high-resolution photo or scan the artwork (minimum 300 dpi).
  2. Visit our Design Your Own page.
  3. Upload your artwork and select the product: tea towel, tote bag, or apron.
  4. Get an Instant Quote & Order.

We’ll take it from there—professionally printing your design onto ethically made, organic cotton tea towels or linen tea towels, and delivering them straight to your door.

Why It Matters

At Expressions Tea Towels, we’re committed to sustainability, creativity and community. Every product is printed using eco-friendly inks on premium materials from our GOTS-certified supplier. Your child’s collage doesn’t just become a keepsake, it becomes a purposeful, long-lasting and meaningful gift.

These personalised pieces are ideal for:

  • Grandparents and relatives
  • School or daycare art projects
  • Mother’s Day or Father’s Day gifts
  • Ethical fundraising ideas for schools or community groups

Whether it’s one tea towel or a bulk order for a classroom fundraiser, we offer custom printed tea towels Australia wide, supporting creativity while caring for the planet.
