DIY Washcloth Travel Kit

Hey Craftaholics Anonymous® readers! Its Jessi here from Practically Functional. I have an awesome project to share with you guys today: I turned a washcloth into a homemade travel kit. It’s the perfect place to store your toiletries while you travel, it rolls up so it doesn’t take up too much room in your suitcase, and it’s easy to make!

DIY Washcloth Travel Kit

Turn a washcloth into a travel kit! A simple sewing project at Craftaholics Anonymous®



Here’s what you need to make your own washcloth travel kit:

  • washcloth
  • 12″-18″ of washable ribbon
  • sewing machine or needle and thread

To make a no-sew version of this travel kit, you can use iron-on hem tape or fabric glue. Either one will work great to turn a washcloth into a travel kit without sewing a stitch!

how to make a washcloth travel kit

Start by folding the bottom of the washcloth up so that it’s about an inch or two below the top of the washcloth. Sew up both outside edges of the washcloth to make a large “pouch”. Then sew a few straight lines up the middle of the pouch to create smaller “pockets”. (If you’re making a no-sew version, just use fabric glue or hem tape in the same spots.)

Flip the washcloth over and attach the middle of the ribbon to one edge of the washcloth, about halfway up.

And you’re done! Flip the washcloth back over and fill the pockets with your toiletries!

When you’re ready to travel, roll the washcloth up and tie the ribbon around the middle to hold it closed, and you’re good to go!
