Super Absorbent DIY Bath Mat From Old Towels: 5 Steps

Bathrooms and showers are not places for wall-to-wall carpeting, but a good-sized bath mat is essential for these spaces!

Sure, these may seem like a piece of fabric to put your wet feet on but they’re much more than that. They can change the look and feel of your bathroom. They can also keep you safe.

The biggest benefit to having one is that it prevents slips and falls. Not every shower will be that slippery, but there’s always the possibility of an accident.

How to make your own soft and super-absorbent bath mat from old towels

Need one (or two)? Head over to the tutorial linked below to learn how to make it! You’ll also find other versions of hand-crafted towel bath mats in our gallery below.

1. Use a cutting mat and rotary cutter to cut the bath towels into strips (3 inches wide).

2. Arrange three strips in a row. If necessary, cut off the towels’ borders. Sew together with pins. It is time to remove the pin.

3. One strip should be folded in half by folding the sides toward the centre. Repeat along the entire strip to secure. With the remaining two strips, repeat the process.

4. As you braid, remove the pins as you go. You will need to sew on more strips after reaching the end. Stitch the end to fasten. Don’t worry if it looks a little messy at first – you can always go back and neaten it up later.

5. Using the braided rope, coil it into a tight coil. Once you have a nice tight coil, use a needle and thread to sew the coils together. This will give you a nice, firm mat to use for your bathroom area. And once you’re done, you’ll have a beautiful, unique bath mat that you will not see in any department stores!
