Video made by Natasa from Treasure Books: OLD TOWELS - Trash to Treasure
Your ability to visual ways to recycle almost anything just blows me away!! The creative ways you come up with are just astonishingly beautiful!!
Thank you so much 😀
one of the things i LOVE about you is how mindful you are about not wasting materials. for example, using up the extra paint & making those extra paper pieces. i'm frugal too
That is one of the things I love about Natasa. I rarely buy stuff. I recently purchased a couple of pads of very pretty, special paper. My dear Husband made some derogatory comments about the cost of my hobby. I grabbed my box of paper ruffles rolls, my envelopes with paper fans, paper strips, small paper ruffles, clusters, tags, tabs; all of those things made from scraps. He was speechless.
My Momma passed away and I’m having a difficult time discarding her kitchen towels and potholders. I was hoping I could find a way to use them. She cooked many a meal for the sick as well as her family.
I truly appreciate you finding a way to let me keep her memories alive.
Bless you.
I'm so sorry about your lost 🙏. Maybe you can do a Junk Journal with all her favorite stuff using her towels.
What an amazing idea. They all look so cool!
Aww, I'm so sorry. Sending love and hugs.🤗💖🇭🇲
She’s amazing at up cycling!!
You could have the tea towels made Into a teddy 🧸 and keep some to put into a memory journal x x
Who else is speechless? Natasa, you would make a wonderful craft show host! Your success is very deserving. ❤
I’d watch it for sure!
Thank you so much :)
Que belleza!
Gracias por compartir tus ideas tan creativas, me inspirastes para ver, dónde no veía...felicitaciones por tu imaginación y creatividad!
I never would have thought my old towels could be more than rags. Thanks for sharing your creativity!
Thanks for watching!
Natasha, not only are you brilliant and so talented, but your sense of humor! Love watching you. Thank you for sharing your gift.
Thank you so much!
There appears to be absolutely no end to your creativity!
Нет, ни то, что конца…. Нет предела….
What would we do without our “shinking pears”? Natasha, you’re the best. 😂🤣
I love her accent. Sometimes I listen to her videos while I’m cleaning or cooking and then when I have time I go back and watch, with amazement!
I thought I’d miss heard that comment 😆
I just don’t know how you do it, do you ever sleep or are you lying awake thinking up all these outstandingly awesome ideas?! This is just amazing and you always make everything look so beautiful! Thank you very much for all that you so kindly do for us crafters. 🥰🏆🥇❤️🏴🌻
Not only must she never sleep thinking of all these ideas let’s discuss how she cranks out so many examples every time. She’s a machine 😅 I love her ❤
Your ideas are always fabulous, your mind must work in overdrive, love everything you created, thanks for sharing. Enjoy your weekend.
Thank you! You too!
Thats Just Mixed Media, instead of using "regular" cloth, use towels.
You could also use up t Shirts, Jeans, bags, blankets, curtains, jackets etc.
Did you know about Spaghetti "wool" made out of cloth?
@heikesiegl2640 what is spaghetti wool?
You have many attributes! Your clean, tidy, organised, thoughtful prep and presentation will always make me keep coming back forever. Thanks Natasha, you make a difference to all our lives 🎉❤😂
Thank you very much!
I've said it before, your imagination and creativity knows no bounds! I have never considered using towels! But then, I use mine till they are pretty much rags!
I'll never throw an old towel away again. This is brilliant. You are, indeed, a creative genius. I can't put into words how much you inspire me. Many, many thanks, Natasha.
Those are so unbelievably beautiful.
Thank you! Cheers!
Where are we going to find room to save all this stuff until Natasha makes a video and tells us what to do with it? Honestly, she’s made me afraid to literally to throw anything away! Natasha! You are something else, it’s all I can say anymore ❤
😂😂😂
What a fun idea! Some of these make me think the background is a bit of rug or carpet, rather than a towel. You're so right that the finished products look far better than the towels did to start with. And that last little piece you showed that you haven't finished yet might make a great bookmark! Thank you for all your wonderful creations, Natasa. I love your channel so much!
Yes, bookmarks! I was thinking a spine pen loop or something along those lines for those smaller pieces! Or even a pen case for a pocket or purse. Although I don’t know how it would handle being roughed up. 😊
You are SOOO prepared! So many finished items, plus directions for us to make our own. You are never hunting for stuff on your desk. Everything is right there. You are my favorite! God bless you. ❤
DITTO I have no patience for crafters who are not prepared.
I just feel the need to tell you that after watching others videos for years compared to the little time that I watched you I have learned so much and you make me excited to create my creations, thank you so much ❤❤❤❤
Wow, thank you!
At first I wondered what in the world you were doing, running out of ideas maybe, but at the end I see what another marvelous idea you have Natasha 💐
Lol@Shinking Pears! Love it!
Yesterday I threw away towels, today when I saw this video, I just take out the towels from the garbage can , and if I still see your videos I think nothing is going through away, thank you , I loved your ideas ,❤️
Absolutely love these ideas. You are SO creative. Love using the towels-I love textures too. Thank you for taking the time to show us how you do this and all of your creative process. This one is definitely bookmarked. (I have a lot of your videos - most - bookmarked)
Thanks so much! 😊
Apart from this, another one of your amazing ideas, I learned how to make prints from a plastic sheet and paint! Thanks for your generosity in sharing your creations!
The texture adds richness! I have some of that strange web-like trim and now you’ve given me an idea on how to use it.
Truly, incredibly gorgeous results. I would not have believed this would work, but WOW.
Thank you so much :)
You are an excellent teacher.
Thank you! 😃
I absolutely love this idea.
Thank you! 😊
Thank you SO MUCH for this video, Natasha. 🥹🙏🏼
Last year, I bought a whole stash of new towels and thought about using the old ones for junk journals. I haven't been inspired to what to actually use the towels for, but cutting them up and gluing them on to journal pages as pockets. I even deliberately searched on RUclips what to do with terry cloth in a junk journal and came up with absolutely nothing. A lot of sewing tutorials for sewing bags and stuff. Which is amazing but really not what I've been looking for. In the end I just kept the old towels for cleaning purposes and such. I'm glad that I did, since now you gifted us with such wonderful inspiration as to what to do with them. ❤👍🏼
Our house. Husband: “Um, where are all our towels gone?!” Wife quietly shrinking into the shadows with her newly made treasures.😂
🤣🤣🤣 this made me literally lol
I’ve said it before but I will say it again: your projects are so unique and creative. Love how you use household materials in a new and beautiful way. Thank you for sharing your creative ideas with us 😊
Thank you! Cheers!
I have saved a few towels that I cross stitched on that I didn’t want to throw away and planned on using them for journal covers, I like this idea of transforming regular towels too
Absolutely fabulous, dahling!
Natasha is the most creative RUclipsr I follow and that’s saying a lot, because I follow so many incredibly talented channels ❤
Thanks so much 😊!!!!!
Love how you truly think outside of the box.
Thank you ❤️
Girl, you cease to amaze me, absolutely stunning. I'm going to add a back cover to the front pin pocket piece and sew down individual pen spots.
Thank you ❤️
How unique! I LOVE GLITTER. It makes me happy
I wanted to report that my momma is staying with me she has been sick so we did this as a thing to do that would help to pass time and spend time together. So we have done 18 of them out of the towels thank you for the wonderful idea. ❤❤❤
Крепкого здоровья Вашей маме! ❤❤❤❤❤🌻🌻🌻😂
Вам терпения и любви! 💗💗💗💗💗🌷🌺⚘🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀
Your ability to upcycle items in such a beautiful way. Fabulous!
Thank you so much!
Wow! I've never seen old towels look so good!
TFS!❤
Thank you ❤️
oh they are so beautiful. love everything you do. I write in my journal often that you made me. love it. hope you and banjo are great.
Now that's 'out of the box' thinking! Amazing results!
Thank you! Cheers!
You said, “I love gold.” And I started laughing when I heard myself say out loud, “Yes, we all know!” 😂
From watching so many of your videos over the last 18 months or so, I started really liking all your gold elements! I realized how adding anything gold really adds a “touch of class” somehow, even the smallest thing! So, I bought gold paper clips and mini gold binder clips for junk journals, and am now on the lookout for other gold elements! 👍🏻😊
I think using gold in all your projects has really become your super power! 🥰
Aw thank you so much! I'm glad you've noticed! 🥰 hehe And I agree, it’s the perfect final touch!
I use shinking pears all the time…great art supply!
Wow! Who would have thunk it? I am blown away. I have used many unexpected industrial, clothing and household bits but never thought of a towel. They are quite charming!
Bravo Natasha .! You made it again 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I love this idea! They are ALL my favorites 💕💕💕💕
Thank you ❤️
Natasha, God gave you all the talent and left us without any. Great job!
Your imagination and talent is astonishing!
Thank you so much :)
I'm sorry, but my old towels don't look like that!😂
Yes exactly..
Towels can be used as towels for a looong time
Jajaja 🤣 mines ( few of them) somehow they got Clorox 🙈
Same here. They go from bathroom to utility room to pet shelter. That said I discovered some big microfibre cleaning cloths in a £1 shop... wonderful colours..... and this project would be perfect to use them. Thank you, Treasure Books 👍
😂
You are absolutely amazing! Such a great idea and “fabulous “ treasures! ❤❤❤
Natasha you always amaze me with taking something and turning it into fantabulous ❤
Thank you so much :)
Again you have amazed me with your creativity! Do you ever sleep? I love you!!
I inherited a box of beautiful buttons, some look like pieces of jewelry, and I was looking for videos to inspire me what to do with them.
I can definitely use some of them to do few things like your crafts here. I’m thinking to hung them on the wall, maybe mounted in a shadow box.
Thank you so much for sharing your work and ideas. ❤️
Absolutely love this idea. Anything to do with keeping things out of the garbage, I love. They are beautiful ❤❤❤
Thank you so much :)
The ideas you come up with are incredible. I am always inspired by your creativity and absolutely love watching your designs come to life. Thank you.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
God has gifted you with an amazingly artistic eye and imagination.
Another amazing project idea. You never disappoint with your ideas/projects/master pieces. I wish I could spend a day in your head! LOL. Thank you for working so hard to share your beautiful creations with us. ~ Lisa.❤
Thank you very much!
Hi Natasha! Love this idea! I was fortunate enough yesterday to get several stamps, stencils and some paint. And with today being Saturday, I plan on crafting most of the day! Anytime I have the time to craft and create, that’s a good day and a fun day. Funny you did some with glitter as I bought the prettiest red paint with glitter in it yesterday too. It’s a beautiful fall red. So I’m inspired to jump in and get to it!! Thanks for such a lovely idea. I hope you have a great weekend and week Natasha. See you soon!
❤️💜💚
Beautiful Beautiful Beautiful. !!!! ❤️
Thank you so much!!
I don’t have old towels, but I do have a book of sample upholstery fabrics. Can’t wait to dig those out and use your ideas. Your work is amazing and so inspiring.!
Your imagination is amazing! 😮
At first glance, I thought the towels were a blankets of seed beads. This is so much more accessible & affordable. Lots of inspo. Thanks!!!😁
Glad it was helpful!
This is a very interesting project idea. Who would have thought that these would turn out so beautiful? 🙂
Thank you! 😊
Well....I didn't see that coming!! You are truly a hoarders delight ❤
Hehe a hoarders delight 🤣🤣
Truly 'believe & inspire' I'm too inspired to reuse my old towels to decorate my project books. Thank you.
And yes, we are all going mental here with your project, I can’t wait to go absolutely MENTAL!!!😂😂❤❤❤❤
I love the mixed media of these projects.
Just when I didn’t think could amaze me more, YOU DID! This is a great idea! Thanks for being creatively brilliant and sharing your brilliance 🩷
Thank you so much :)
Wonderful another texture idea. Ideas are overflowing, love them all.
Thank you. 🤗🌻
Thank you! 😊
Just plain lovely! No other words! You are so talented!!!
Estoy impresionada de su talento y creatividad para producir cosas tan hermosas y amables con nuestro medio ambiente. Gracias por compartinos su arte. Un cálido saludo desde Perú.
Wonderful ‼
Beautiful!!! I am excited! I have “mid” towels, still pretty, not yet destroyed- but at the top of the heap for “next” in line ….
These will be perfect! It makes me happy.
I like the idea of giving them a brand new life🎉 Cinderella gets to go to the ball!! 😂
Sounds great! 💃
Natasha, another brilliant and creative idea! Everything you make turns out so beautifully! Thank you for showing us how to make so many great creations and for continually providing so much inspiration!
I apologize that your name is misspelled in my comment above. I did not notice my mistake when I sent the comment.
Thank you! 😊
Fantastic!!!!! Fabulous!!!!!
I looooove them!!!!!! I will be craft shoppin this week!!!!
Your creativity leaves me in awe!!!!!! 😮😮😮
Thank you soooooo much!!!!
❤❤❤
Yay! Thank you!
I love rich texture, and this is a fantastic way to add it into my journals! I have used sheets and curtains, but never towels. Thank you for thinking outside the box. I'm excited to try this!
This is absolutely brilliant, I love them! I do a lot of mixed media art, so ive used doilies, lace, ribbon, etc.. but never thought to use towels, they provide wonderful texture, and yours look amazing. Thanks so much. 💕😊
Omg, Im so happy I Found your channel. My compliments on what a lovely teacher you are 👏👏👏🥰
So rich! Texture, design, soft colors. Thank you once again for spending time with us and sharing your talent.
Thanks for watching :)
"Shinking peers" made me laugh so hard, and I needed that. Another wonderful video, and terrific idea! Thank you!
Thank you so much :)
Thanks!
Very much appreciated, thank you!
OMGOMGOMG 😨 I've been looking for ideas on how to repurpose towels forever!!! And these look just great!
Thank you thank you thank you!!!
You are the queen Natash, you can think out of the box you are amazing.
Из обычного полотенца такая красота,вы умница и ручки золотые.
This is such a great idea. I have some older white wash cloths which must have gotten washed with something red, because now they are a very light pink. Just too pink to be used for “best”. This might be a way to give them another life. Thanks for always inspiring us!😊❤
Old towels! Would have never imagined how awesome they could look! Would make fabulous spine cover as well! Thanks again, Natasa!
Glad you like it!
These pieces are gorgeous. You have such a wealth of ideas and you produce so much beautiful work. Thanks for sharing. 🤩
Thank you so much!
A lovely time spent with you and I thank you for your inspiration.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
Bonjour Natacha 🇨🇦😎 OMG that is so cool they look like little carpets ones the paint is dry , your creative mind is amazing, thanks for sharing your great talents and idees with the world 🌏 😁
That is exactly what I thought. They do look like little carpets after painted.
Wonderful idea for old towels! I am always amazed by your creativity!❤️❤️❤️
Thank you! Cheers!
Over the top amazing thank you for sharing 🥰💕
Thank you! Cheers!
This video made me so happy! I have towels that I want to use in art projects and this gave me a new perspective and new skills. Thank you!
I'm so glad! Thank you ❤️
Another excellent project. I have some towels I was getting ready to throw. Not anymore! Thanks for sharing Natasa! I love watching your video's! ♥
Awesome! Thank you!
Unbelievably incredibly beautiful!
Many thanks!
You sold me on it 🥰 Lovely range of techniques involved, all things I can use in different projects too. I must admit, by the time my towels count as 'old' there isn't that much left of them - they finish up as rags. I'll keep my eye on the next one that's wearing thin... Thanks for yet more inspiration!
Your sense of composition is awesome. Would have never thought to use towels, very creative!😍
Thank you! Cheers!
Wow amazing ❤😊
Thank you! Cheers!
You never cease to amaze me with your creativity 😊❤
Thank you so much 😀
They are all gorgeous. I wouldn’t have thought of using old towels to make journal covers. I love you stash of odds and ends that you add to the towels. Thank you for sharing your creative ideas.
A hint for cutting a straight line the first time. Use a quilting ruler and rotary cutter.
I have so many towels and face washers a friend of mine gave to me when his mum passed away a couple of years ago. They were all some version of beige/cream/brown. These colours are not for me but I didn't want to toss them out. Thanks for this video. It's solved my dilemma of what to do with all this stuff that I've accumulated.
My goodness... you just amaze me with your ideas and craftsmanship. Your work is perfection and beautiful!!! Tfs ❤
Thank you! Cheers!
