What can be made from an old towel?

Floor mat

Such the mat can be used in the bathroom or turn it into a pet bedding.

For work you will need a few terry towels.

1. Trim off the hemmed edges and cut the garment into strips of 7 cm.

2. Sew three ribbons around the edge and fold each one over to form straws.

3. Braid your braid. When the stripes are over, repeat the previous steps and sew the new piece to the first braid.

4. Twist the long braid into a spiral and connect, securing it with a thread after each turn.

Baby bib

if you have unnecessary towel and old t-shirt, you can easily sew a small apron for your baby. It will absorb liquid food well and will withstand several washes. If an unwashable stain appears on the bib, it will not be a pity to throw it away.

1. Cut off the neckline of the jersey T-shirt.

2. Cut a hole in the towel to fit the round piece.

3. Pin or baste the seam with contrasting threads, then sew the neckline and towel together.

Travel organizer

All care products can be collected in one place and wrapped in a soft cloth.

1. To do this, roll up the towel by one third and spread the necessary hygiene items on it.

2. Make marks with a bar of soap.

3. Use fabric glue or simply sew to glue the product in the right places.

Crockery mat

In order not to buy a special product for drying dishes, make it yourself. Required old towel and cotton cloth.

To make a rug, sew two layers together - the lower part will perfectly absorb all the moisture. Choose a beautiful fabric for the top layer for a more pleasant washing and drying experience.

Potholders

In this master class, the towel plays the role of insulation that does not allow you to burn yourself while cooking.

1. Cut the product into equal squares, then take your favorite cotton fabric and make squares to fit.

2. We fasten the layers and sew them on a typewriter.

3. We turn the workpiece right side out, stitch it again.

4. The resulting products can be used as potholders or coasters and hot.

Mop head

An old towel can be used as a doormat or used as a mop attachment. Sew together two H-shaped pieces to fit your mop and turn out.

Use a tape to secure the product to the base, but the attachment will hold better if you sew on Velcro or buttons.

Scrubber bear

You can sew a baby washcloth from a plain towel, which will amuse your baby and decorate the bathroom.

In addition to terry cloth, you will need a piece of felt (for the nose) and black threads for the eyes and mouth.

1. To determine the size of the main part, place your hand on the fabric and trace around it.

Reusable cotton pads

Reusing things is not only beneficial for the planet, but also for you. Terry towels can be used to make cleansing discs and use them instead of disposable ones.

1. Place the glass on a towel and circle it.

2. Cut out the resulting circles and overlock or sew them by hand - so the edges will not crumble.

3. Place the finished products in a jar.

If you don't want to throw away your old towels, take apart the closet and turn the stack of unwanted textiles into useful and beautiful items.
