Don’t throw those faded, holey old towels out. Besides being excellent cleaning rags, spew rags (which I just realised yesterday that I needed a whole heap of with my sick little boy), wiping the wet dog rags, they can be made in to many other useful things for around the house. Here are 24 uses for old towels.
If, like me, you love to craft, reuse, recycle and make do with items from around your house, I’d love to share more ideas with you. You can subscribe to my mailing list here and be the first to hear about new projects and other great ideas I find for using up the things in our home that may otherwise end up as landfill. Together we can help save the environment, one baby step at a time.
Cut towels into strips and make this bath mat
New wash cloths
like like like like….and oh my lord, can someone make me one of those kitties?
I saw a squirrel statue yesterday and wanted to send it to you. It was unnaturally heavy though. 🙁
I love those ideas! Some of my washcloths are starting to fray around the edges so I should add a binding like that!
Fabulous list!
Love these lists – a towel beach bag is def on my learn to sew list and maybe I'll get around to it one of these days, lol 🙂 Have a great weekend!
Ha! We needed the vomit rags this week, but I was using whole towels for huge boys! I'm always cutting them down to make floor cloths, hand things old towels though, some of those ideas are amazing.
Wow what great inspiration for old towels! I've used them for rags, make great ones, but these ideas are beyond anything I could come up with. So many I could do, what a fabulous list! My fingers are crossed you’ll share your creative inspiration tonight with Sunday’s Best – sharing is a good thing! These are ideas need to be shared!
I love these ideas! I have a bag of old towels that I am in the process of turning into floor mats.
Thanks for linking up to Totally Pinworthy!

I was just about to get rid of a few towels! Perfect timing…
