Have some old towels that no longer work in the bathroom but you just hate to throw them out? I often found myself with this problem until I went looking for some cool DIY ideas to use those old towels I had been saving. Turn them into bath slippers, hand towels, and even creative pet furniture. There are so many creative DIY ideas for old towels, I was super surprised. The upcycled towel swimsuit is officially my favorite DIY of 2018. Summer style on a budget, what could be better? I am currently making the big beach blanket, and I can already tell it is going to be super cute. You can’t buy this creative idea in stores, either. Get busy making one for yourself! Free sewing patterns and tutorials, with plenty of no sew options for turning old towels into something useful, too.
