\nIf you wish your dishcloth to look grubby and well used simply colour with clay, children\u2019s watercolour paints or chalk, this is best done after the dishcloth has been dampened or the colours may wash out. If you use too much colour simply rinse in cold water to remove excess.<\/p>\n![\"miniature](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/store.buttercupminiatures.co.uk\/newsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/dishcloths2c.jpg?resize=263%2C216\")
\nTo shape the dishcloth<\/strong>
\nThe dishcloth can of course be folded neatly and put ready for use, but if you wish to give the impression the dishcloth has actually been used in your dolls house then follow these simple instructions:<\/p>\n
\nFirst wet the cloth. The wet dishcloth can either be draped over a bath, basin or washing up bowl and pulled into shape and then left to dry (protect any wooden or delicate furniture by covering it in plastic wrap first). Once dry the dishcloth will hold its shape.
\n2. To leave on the side of a counter or bath<\/strong>
\nFirst wet the cloth, then wring it out, do not untwist the dishcloth but arrange it on a plastic pot lid or plate, so as it looks as if it has been wrung out and placed on the side after use. Leave it to dry completely before placing in the dolls house. If you are not satisfied with the end result then simply wet the cloth again and rearrange. The cloth will hold its shape until it is wet again.<\/p>\n
