Mini Towels

[Roxxie2]

I was wondering what anyone has used for their mini bathroom towels.   I am working in half scale (1:24) and thought that I could cut up old towels that I have and fold them for the linen shelf.  They are way too thick for this scale.   Ideas??

I haven't dressed the Fairfields' bathrooms yet, but I think I'll go with cut down paper towels as being more in scale for 1:24.

I got baby washcloths at the Dollar Store.  They are thinner than a regular towel.  Probably not perfectly in scale for 1:24, but not bad.  You can see them in the Bungalow bathroom and the Merrimack bathroom, which are both half scale.

I used baby washcloths for my 1/12 poolhouse but I folded them in thirds. If you use them as a single ply it should work for 1/24.  Actually they are one continuous piece folded accordion style to look like numerous stacked towels.

When I needed towels I found some smooth suede like fabric that was perfect.

I found a lightweight terry cloth fabric that worked great for 1:12, it was thinner than regular towel material so much easier to fold/roll for towels.

I've used paper towels. I separated the ply and cut pieces and folded them. I used a tiny dot of glue to maintain the folded shape.

Thin quilt batting works too.

I would think that would be awfully out of scale for 1:24 towels.

I used a t-shirt knit fabric from my local sewing shop. Can't recall exactly what it was, but it was slightly fuzzy on one side, so I put that side facing out. No fraying either, so just cut it nice and straight and folded it up.

Also Maria's fabrics sells a very fine thin towelling (although I wouldn't use it in 1:24 scale).

Old teeshirt would make lovely thick bath towels in 1:24!  I think I'll try that when I get around to finishing dressing the Fairfields' bathrooms.

Thanks ladies!   I have to stop at our Dollar Store this week for microfiber clothes anyway I shall look for something thin there.   I appreciate all your great suggestions!  :)

So,  I was digging around in my fabric stash and found a pile of felt.   I have a rainbow of colors.   I cut strips of felt, folded them and they make perfect towels for my half scale bathroom shelf!    I used 3 colors found in the wallpaper..
