Are you in the habit of tossing your bath towel onto the floor when you step out of the bath? And just like that, you add another towel to the laundry pile!
What if you repurposed your old towels to create a beautiful bathroom rug instead? Wouldn’t that be ideal?
After some time, our towels become worn out, often ending up torn and ragged. From now on, set them aside because these towels will come in handy to make a gorgeous rug!

You will need 3 or 4 bath towels, scissors, thread, a needle, and pins.
- Cut the towels into strips about 3 inches wide.
- Stack 3 strips on top of each other and sew a few stitches to hold them together.
- Braid the strips. When you reach the end, sew additional strips to the first three, continue braiding, and so on.
- You can also sew all the strips together to create 3 long strips, but braiding becomes much harder with longer strips. A good compromise is to sew 2 to 3 lengths of strips together at a time.
- Once you have a long braid, coil it onto itself, sewing stitches every so often to keep it firmly in place.
And just like that, you have a stunning bathroom rug that cost you nothing! Isn’t that fantastic?

We even have a video to show you step-by-step how to do this even better.
