DIY Stay Put Kitchen Towel Tutorial

See this empty drawer?

It’s where I keep my kitchen towels.  We (meaning the kids) have been going through 3 to 4 kitchen towels every single day!

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.)

  1. 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!

  2. So 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.

    Warmly, Michelle
