14 uses for vintage tea towels

Going through my Mum’s and Nanna’s things, I’ve found a lot of vintage souvenir tea towels (or dish towels). They are just gorgeous and I’d like to turn them into something that can be admired. I found these tea towel inspired ideas on Pinterest for ‘pinspiration’. Here are 14 uses for vintage tea towels.

    Pinned for future reference. Awesome ideas Anne! I'll have to keep an eye out for tea towels at garage/estate sales.
