6 Brilliant Ways to Reuse Old Towels

Do you have plenty of towels at home that you no longer use? Don’t throw them just yet, repurpose them instead. Here are 6 brilliant ways to reduce old towels by DIY Trefa on Youtube. I am sure you’ll find all of these useful. Watch the video below for detailed instructions for each item.

1. Product organizer

This product organizer is perfect for frequent travelers. It’s super easy to make and keeps all of your items organized.

Instructions:

Cut 20″ by 22″ on the towel. Sew a binding on one long edge. Get one of your products and fold the edge with the binding to measure how deep the pockets should be. Once you are okay with the height, sew the binding on the other edges. Divide the pockets into 4. Put some products inside and fold the organizer to close. Measure where you should put the buttons and then sew them in a place. Sew an elastic on the other edge for the button.

2. Oven mittens

Towels are usually thick, so it’s great to use them when making your oven mittens.

Instructions:

Place your hand on a piece of paper and trace it with a big allowance. Cut it out and use it as a pattern. Trace it on the towel four times, two times on your fabric scraps for the lining, and two times on an old comforter. Cut all of the pieces. Get one piece each of the towel and lining. Sew them together on the bottom. Make another one. Place both pieces right sides together, then sew the lining and towel together but leave an opening. Pull it right side out and sew the opening. Top stitch the edges. Do the same with the remaining towels and comforter cutouts.
