5 Things to Do with a Dish Towel

4/10/2013

We've all heard me say it: "Life's too short for ugly dishtowels."  Well, my new policy is, dishtowels are NOT just for drying dishes!
    In my little universe, everything can be seen as art supplies.  Just because something starts out as one thing doesn't mean it can't become another.
    With that in mind, think creatively about what you can do with dish towels.  Help them to live outside their box!

No. 1

This one's easy:  line a bread basket.  Here, we've created a still life or centerpiece, but there's something wonderful about hot bread tucked into 100 percent cotton, ends folded over to keep in the heat.

No. 2

Another no-brainer:  a colorful, washable place mat for any meal you choose.  This kids love the daddy long legs image -- and guess what?  Great kitchen towels make snazzy little bibs, too.

No. 3

A unique and personal tea towel becomes an excellent way to wrap a gift, whether for housewarming, thank-you, hostess or birthday.  Does your friend love dragonflies? Believe it or not, there's a dishtowel just for her!

No. 4

Set up bar any place it's convenient, with a great looking protector for your furniture -- namely a dishtowel!  Cotton absorbs all moisture, any little spills, and adds a little flair to the festivities.

No. 5

For those of you unafraid of sewing machines, dish towels become a ready-made source of fun, unique fabric.  Here we've rustled up a pocketed apron from a single towel -- and we've heard tell of cafe curtains being made from colorful kitchen towels.  Genius!!
