Turn Old Towels into Kitchen Cloths

Gather Old Towels

Collect the old towels you wish to upcycle from around your home. Ensure they are clean before starting the project.

Measure and Cut

Use a ruler to measure the desired size for your kitchen cloths. Mark the dimensions on the towel with a fabric pen and cut along the lines using fabric scissors.

Hem the Edges

Fold the edges of the cut towels inward by about 1/2 inch. Use fabric pins to secure the fold. Sew along the folded edges using either a sewing machine or by hand to prevent fraying.

Iron the Cloths

Iron the newly created kitchen cloths to flatten any wrinkles and ensure a neat finish.
