14 Clever Ways To Use Dish Towels -CatchyFreebies

Ratings:

Call them dish towels or tea towels, but they’re the same. I’m talking about those thin, non-terry towels we use in the kitchen to dry dishes and wipe up kitchen spills. Well, get ready to have your mind blown, because that’s just the beginning; those towels can be used for so much more! Here are 14 really clever ways to use dish towels:

As a placemat: Set the table using beautiful towels instead of placemats, or fold them to use as napkins. It’s creative and easy to just throw in the washing machine.
Wrap a gift: Use a towel in place of wrapping paper! This is especially nice for DIY gifts and homemade foods.
Dry and store greens: Place your lettuce and herbs on tea towels after washing. Keep them crisp by rolling up in the towel and storing in the fridge.
Secure a cutting board: Place a damp dish towel under a cutting board or mixing bowl to keep it from sliding around on the counter.
Guest hand towels: Because they’re so pretty!
Line a serving tray or basket: Beauty and function!
Give as a gift: Since dish towels are so useful, a nice set makes a great gift.
Shelf liner: Use instead of paper shelf liner.
Wall art: Hang a nice towel on the wall- framed or not.
Cover rising dough: It will keep it warm and it won’t stick.
Protect your dishes: Place towels between delicate dishes and serving pieces to protect them from chipping and breaking.
Use as a trivet: This is nice to do when you use oven to table dishes that are hot. Fold the towel into quarters before placing the hot pan on it.
Custom throw pillows: Create your own pillow cases out of beautiful tea towels.
Dry your hair: These towels are super absorbent and can help you hair dry with less frizz.
