What a great idea!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great way to recycle. I like to cut up old t-shirts because they work great for cleaning up smaller messes or wiping messy faces. They also don't streak when cleaning windows and they don't fray!
ReplyDeleteIt's so much fun to find out how much use you can get out of something before it finally has to be tossed!
I do this and also cut my bath towels down to dish towels when they show signs of wear
ReplyDeleteGosh! All this time I just kept using my old towels! Looks like I have some shopping and a weekend project coming up... Thank you.... Stopping by from Homemaker Moday.
