- Terry cloth pillow cases are ideal for covering beach or pool pillows and cushions. The fabric will absorb excess moisture, keeping you cool and fresh. You can slip vibrant, handmade covers over inexpensive plastic pillows for a decorative look. To make a pillow case, cut a large terry cloth towel according to the pillow's dimensions. Stitch the cloth together using a sewing machine or by hand.
- Use terry cloth to create a comfortable and stylish headband you can wear with casual clothing items. Due to the fabric's absorbency, the headband will also make ideal gym wear. Simply cut a strip of terry cloth to fit around your head and place it face-down on a work surface. Hem the strip's raw edges using a needle and thread or a sewing machine to create a neat appearance. Connect the edges of the headband with a piece of elastic, so you can easily slip it over your head.
- Terry cloth candy crafts make sweet baby shower favors. To make the candy-inspired crafts, fold a baby washcloth into thirds length-wise to create a long strip. Roll the terry cloth strip jelly roll-style to resemble a piece of hard, swirled candy and secure the end with a small safety pin. Wrap the washcloth candy in pieces of clear cellophane and tie the ends with ribbon bows.
- Design a whimsical baby shower table centerpiece using terry cloth fabric. Roll a pink, blue or any other pastel-hued baby washcloth and place it into a sundae dish to resemble ice cream or sherbet. Top the washcloth with fluffy white cotton balls as whipped cream. Tie a red ribbon around a baby pacifier and place it on top of the cotton as a cherry. Finish the craft by inserting a plastic spoon in the side of the dish.
