No-Sew UNpaper Towels and Roll

You'll Need:

- receiving blankets or cotton flannel fabric

- empty paper towel tube

- pinking shears

- ruler or measuring tape

- hot glue gun
Instructions:

For unpaper towels:

- Lay the receiving blanket out flat and then fold into thirds to make a skinny rectangle. Fold in thirds again to make 9 stacked rectangles of about 8.5 x 10 inches.

- Cut along all the folds with a pair of sharp pinking shears.

For crafty unpaper towel holder:

- Apply hot glue to one edge of the cardboard tube and adhere yarn, leaving a short tail. Begin wrapping the yarn tightly around the tube applying hot glue to the tube every few rounds. (Hide the tail under the yarn wrap.)

- Keeping the rounds close together, overlapping as necessary to cover the tube, wrap and glue the yarn all the way to the other end of the tube. When the tube is completely covered, cut the yarn to finish.

To use:

- Start by laying the cloths in a stack. Roll the first wipe around the tube. Then, bring the tube back to the top of the next wipe in the stack. Allow the wipe to overlap with the end of the one on the roll by about an inch or so. Then tightly roll the second wipe around the tube. Continue until the wipes no longer wrap around the tube.

- Use just like you would conventional paper towels. Wash and repeat!!

Notes:

Wash and dry your new wipes and expect a bit of fraying the first few times. Simply pull off and discard the strings- this will stop after a few washes.
