This Aussie mum’s back-to-school hack using $3 Kmart TEA TOWELS is the best thing you’ll see today!

It’s gone viral! - by Nikki Black
  • 19 Jan 2019

We’ve already seen savvy mums around the country turning $3 Kmart tea towels into some of the cutest kids clothes you’ve ever seen. 

Now one Queensland mum-of-seven has taken things to the next level with this amazing back-to-school hack. 

This Aussie mum’s back-to-school hack using $3 Kmart TEA TOWELS is the best thing you’ll see today!

Using the gorgeous tea towels - which have a cult following, thanks to their modern designs - mum Tracey has turned them into school library bags for her kids. 

Sharing her awesome hack to the fabulous Kmart Mums Australia Facebook group, Tracey proves how you can save big dollars with her simple idea. 

‘Kmart tea towels for the win,’ she writes. ‘The kids needed large library bags for school. 

‘Five mins to sew the edges together and a strip of velcro across the top, a clip through the hanging tab to attach to their school bags and done.’

She tells New Idea Food: ‘It was honestly a 10-minute job!’

Love it! The back-to-school idea not surprisingly got the big thumbs up from other Kmart Mums.

‘So clever!’ wrote one. Added another: ‘This is brilliant!’

Said a third: ‘Clever, cost effective idea!’

We’ll say! And for more amazing ideas, make sure you’re following Kmart Mums Australia on Facebook - click here for more!
