How to Make Un-Paper Towels

unpapertowels

I love the idea of Up-paper towels! We are all about reducing waste and saving trees. We have been using rags instead of paper towels around the house for years but now you can bet I will be making some of these!

Un-paper towel how to:

Step 1: Cut squares of prewashed flannel and terry 12×13 inches.

Step 2: Pin right sides together.

Step 3: Stich all around the outsides with a ½ inch seam allowance. Leave about a 2-inch hole to be able to turn the towels right side out.

Step 4: Clip the corners and push your finger into each corner to make sure it is pushed out all the way.

Step 5: Turn the towels right side out.

Step 6: Top stitch around the outside of the towel with 1/4” seam allowance and once through the center of the wipe. Make sure to fold in the area where you left the hole to turn.

Step 7: Add snaps, if desired.

Cleaning Out My Pantry

I have a very well stocked pantry, thanks to couponing. Today I cleaned mine out because it had become disorganized and I was forgetting what I had which leads to buying things that I have already stocked up on. I now have three jars of peanut butter that I kept thinking I was out of. The above picture shows what I was throwing away because it had expired. Most of these items I had gotten for free/almost free couponing so this is probably less than $5 worth of food but I try never to waste. I am determined to try harder to use up what I have in the future, before I end up throwing it and money away. This is better for my wallet and the environment.
