Various Creative And Delightful Ways You Can Use Decorative Tea Towels
Tea towels were initially made to dry the dishes. But, people found more fun and exciting ways to use these everyday items as time went on. Nowadays, these excellent towels can be used all around the house for many different purposes.

We carry a fine selection of charming towels that are printed with beautiful artwork made by talented artists. Here, you can get towels printed with local birds, floral designs, gorgeous scenery and more!
A few wonderful ways you can use your new decorative tea towels are:
Save Or Give As A Memento. You might not think of towels as something to give as a thoughtful present, but you’ll change your mind when you see the kinds of memorable towels you can get. These decorative towels can quickly become wonderful things to collect and keep for yourself or gift to someone you love.
This becomes especially true if you choose towels printed with certain kinds of designs. For example, if you want to get your loved one a souvenir from New Zealand, you can get them a tea towel with a gorgeous local NZ bird printed on it. Then, every time they see it, they’ll think of you and New Zealand.
Use As A Placemat. These towels can be easily folded into delightful placemats that you can put your plates or utensils on. Not only is this use creative and aesthetically pleasing, but you can also make it personalised. If you have tea towels printed with different designs, you can match the designs to the person who will use the placemat.
For example, are you planning on having lunch with someone who loves flowers? Then you can use a towel printed with marvellous flowers as their placemat.
Wrap Your Baked Goods. Do you love baking? If so, your tea towels are perfect for wrapping your baked goods with. They’ll keep your fresh-baked bread warm and looking great. In addition to this, if you plan on making baked goods for a friend as a gift, you can choose a tea towel that you know they’ll love and use it as eco-friendly wrapping.
This way, they can enjoy the delicious taste of your bread and have a fine new towel to use.

Hang Up Or Display As Decorations. Have you ever bought a printed item to use, only to find that you loved how it looked so much that you couldn’t bear to get it dirty? Whether it’s a towel, a plate or some delicate teacups, some things are just too pretty to be used.

When this happens, these items make for wonderful decorations to spruce up your home. Luckily, tea towels are also incredibly easy to decorate with because you don’t have to worry about them falling and shattering.
If you get some decorative tea towels that you especially love, you can hang them up to add some beautiful colour and art to any room you like. Or, you can even use them as placemats for other decorations that you like. No matter what you do with them, a well-placed printed tea towel can provide a room with a bit of charm that makes you feel that much more at home.
Use As Sustainable Gift Wrapping. You can make your gifts even more special by wrapping them in beautiful decorative tea towels. Regular gift wrapping paper creates quite a bit of waste and doesn’t really have a use once it’s removed from the item it was wrapping, but when you use a delightful tea towel, it’s like giving your loved one two gifts in one.
You can use a tea towel to wrap around a bottle of wine, book, trinket, jewellery or anything you’d like. You can even use a towel or two to line a gift basket to make it even more enjoyable. As an example, you can see how to nicely wrap a wine bottle with a tea towel in this video we have provided.
You can make this special addition more memorable by choosing a tea towel with art that you know your gift’s recipient will adore. Using this eco-friendly, sustainable alternative to gift wrapping is an incredible way to reduce waste and put a genuine smile on your loved one’s face.
