Think twice before tossing these out. 10 brilliant ways to reuse worn bath towels

With some creativity, worn towels can be upcycled into practical accessories for travel, gym, or beach outings. Sew a simple drawstring beach bag by folding a towel in half, stitching the sides, and adding a drawstring closure at the top.

For the gym, create a sweatband or yoga mat strap by cutting long strips and sewing or tying the ends together. These repurposed items are not only functional but also a unique way to express your personal style.

If sewing and crafting aren’t your forte, consider donating your old towels to animal shelters or community organizations. Many shelters are in constant need of towels for bathing, bedding, and cleaning purposes.

Community projects, such as art programs and environmental initiatives, often welcome donations of fabric for various uses. By donating, you’re contributing to a good cause and ensuring that your old towels are put to practical use rather than ending up in a landfill.
