Save grundles of money by making your own easy no-sew reusable paper towels for less than $5! If you spend money on paper towels and are looking for a way to not only be more earth-friendly and help your budget, using reusable paper towels are the way to go. For Mother’s Day my daughter gave me a set of reusable paper towels complete with containers to hold them. I realized it would be super easy to make them yourself so with a few dollars I did just that. I’ll show both versions below but you can customize these to match any decor! Plus no sewing is needed!
Supplies (Make Your Own)
- Kitchen dishcloths of choice (Find the right fabric. Patterns do not show stains the best. I personally do not like terry. You want absorbable and strong.)
- Baskets of choice that can be hung This link is a pricy version. We used white ones from the Dollar store!
- Mini wall hooks (we used this type in white as we had that already)
- Mini Clothes pins (optional for the labels)
- Printable Clean Dirty labels (Free download below)

Instructions
I received this set of ready-made reusable paper towels from my daughter. (This set is linked under supplies above for those who don’t mind spending money for them)
This is what I used to make my own reusable paper towels. The total cost less than $5 as I had everything except the waffle dishcloths.
I choose a spot in my kitchen for the set I was given. 
The baskets came with plastic hooks to adhere them to the wall.
I printed out the labels I wanted (optional) and cut them out.
After looking at the labels I decided to go with the black and white for these baskets. 
I printed a lovely matching art piece to go over the baskets.
Next, I found a place to put my DIY Reusable Paper towels. As the baskets I had were smaller I decided to put them on the front of our refrigerator using Command hooks I also already had.
I chose another set of labels and clipped them on using white mini clothespins.
Done!
