It's where I keep my kitchen towels. We have been going through 3 to 4 kitchen towels every single day.
At first I thought a kitchen towel bandit must be breaking in and taking all my towels out of the drawer and leaving them all over the house... It took me a little while to catch on, but I finally noticed one little 6 year old blonde bandit was reaching in the drawer and getting out a clean towel every time I sent him to the kitchen to wash his hands. (This was not happening in the bathrooms because the clean towels are not so accessible.)
I remembered seeing this stay put kitchen towel turorial over at Pin.Sew.Press a few months ago and knew it would be the perfect solution for my kitchen towel issues.
Here are my new Stay Put Kitchen Towels...
So cute and really very easy to make. I just used some inexpensive hand towels from Walmart and a tiny bit of scrap fabric and ribbon. In less than an hour, I went from this:
To this:
So much better!
I have some really cute Christmas fabric, so I will be making a few more for the holidays...

ReplyDeleteI love towels that stay put. Mine seem to be on the floor unless I use my stay-put towels too, LOL. Love the handles you have for them to hang on. Would love to have you come link-up at Finished it Friday! Have a fabulous weekend!

Where did you find the holders? Not something I recognize... My hubby is the towel bandit! I have them in certain places and instead of using them to dry hands while its hanging - poof he snatches it up and it lands where ever!!!
ReplyDelete@MC I've had the holders for a while, but I am pretty sure I got them at the container store...

Bingo! I love it. Our towels have a tendency to go walk about too. We have 3 people in our family, and we definitely have 3 bandits.;) Myself included.:) I think this may be a VERY good solution.:)

I am tempted to do this, but I wonder if they wouldn't just be used to wipe berry-stained hands, lol.

ReplyDeleteSo clever! I remember my boys always loved pulling them down & throwing them on the floor. {Grrr!} Wish I would have been as smart as you - maybe I'll try this solution for my grandchildren! Thanks for linking it up to Fabulous Friday at Faith, Trust, & Pixie Dust.
ReplyDeleteWarmly, Michelle
Very smart idea! I have dropped dish towels on my floor ALL day long! And it doesn't help that my 9 month old likes to pull them down! Thanks for sharing this @ Show & Share. I am so happy to have you!
ReplyDeleteThese are fabulous - I'm heading to the studio right now.
