DIY BATH MAT WITH OLD TOWELS

Give old towels a second life by turning them into a super soft, oh-so-cozy bath rug. All you need besides the towels (old t-shirts will also work but with less luxurious r...esults) is a gridded matting that you can find at any craft store. You can work on this project while you’re watching TV or sitting around with your family after dinner – whenever your hands are free. It may take you a while but it will be worth it once you’re finished.

How to Do:
1. First, make sure your towel or towels are all well washed.
2. Decide how big you want your bath rug to be and then cut your gridded matting to those dimensions.
3. Turn your scissors on your towels and begin cutting them into 5 or 6 inch long pieces about 3/4 of an inch thick.
4. Now it’s just a matter of knotting each strip along the grid, making sure they all face the same way. For the best results we recommend knotting along every line, but if you don’t mind a thinner mat – or just don’t have the patience – then every other line is fine, too.
