Towel

  • Upcycling is a great way to be more eco-friendly
get it on amazon

Storage container

  • My storage container is 1 of 3 in a stackable set that sits out on my bathroom counter
  • I store all face cloths inside, and when one gets dirty, I stick it in the dirty clothes bin. Once it’s clean, back in this container it goes! And repeat!
  • I’ve cut them to fit this container, so they lay flat perfectly. No more folding or rolling facial cloths to fit

Elastic cord

  • This is completely optional, but I added elastic cord in order to make hanging easier
  • Watch the video to see this function in action

Needle and thread

  • I chose a thread similar in color to my towel
  • I hand-sewed these puppies, but it would be a much zippier job on a sewing machine

Scissors

  • Fabric scissors will work best here, but any scissors will do

How I made reusable face cloths at home

How to make

  1. Lay your towel down on a flat surface
  2. Use the marker and trace around your air-tight container
  3. Repeat as needed for each cloth
  4. Cut the cloths out, making sure to cut on the inside of the tracings so the marker lines get left behind
  5. Pull an arm’s length of thread
  6. Cut it with scissors
  7. Thread the needle
  8. Grab both ends of thread
  9. Tie a triple knot
  10. If you are using elastic cord, cut it down to size
  11. Holding the elastic cord in place, insert the needle on the front side
  12. Pull the thread through
  13. Insert the needle again
  14. Loop the thread around the needle once
  15. Pull the needle through
  16. Repeat
  17. Loop the thread around the needle twice once you start to run out of thread before pulling it through on the last few stitches
  18. Cut the excess thread
  19. The first facial cloth is complete!
  20. Now repeat these steps on the remaining facial cloths
  21. For visuals, free free to watch the video above, and watch mama work!
