How To Fold: Hand Towels - Mama's Laundry Talk

Hand Towels are easy to fold.  They are folded almost exactly like bath towels.

First, lay the hand towel flat down with the raw edge up.  The seam side should be facing down.  Smooth the towel flat with your hands.

Next, fold the bottom third of the towel towards the middle.  This doesn’t have to be an exact measurement – just eyeball it.

Fold the top third of the towel down to the top edge touches the bottom seam.  Smooth again.

Finally, fold the right side of the towel over to the left side so the edges line up.

It is easiest to store hand towels in the same manner as bath towels: with the folded edge facing outward.  It makes it so easy and simple to pull them from the shelf.

The hand towels in the above picture are to the left of the green towels.  I love storing them this way: easy and accessible.  A bonus perk: when I send my son to get a towel, it’s easy for him to just pull one off the shelf – not the whole stack!
