Secret Revealed...Orange Sunflower Towel Hanger ITH..realized I forgot to take photos of the steps for the instructions for my class so I had to make another one just for the photos...will give this to my SIL for her birthday so it will go to good use...thanks for looking...again.
P.S. Options for the "Secret" hidden in the bottom to support the towel are Lucite 6mm rod, Cake Peg (my favorite), dowel or craft stick (but dowel and craft stick are wooden and may not launder well...

Beautiful. Did I miss where you were going to reveal the trick for making the bottom sturdy for the weight of the Towel?

Okay...you got me! I added the photos and information to my post...
Thanks never heard of plate pegs. The bottom picture looks like what we call Contact sticky backed plastic what is it?
The last photo shows the Lucite rods...
For any Australians who may read this post the Lucite rods are available here.

Kim I just love that design. I have also wondered if it can be designed in such a way that one could slip the dowel, chopstick etc into a pocket and it could be removed before laundering.

Yes it absolutely could be designed so that the support rod could be removed......but if you are using the Lucite or plastic rod, there would not be a reason to remove it...

Very nice love the idea. Just a silly question if you wrap the wooden dowels is cling wrap would that be ok for the laundry , just thinking of waterproofing.

That might work but if any moisture gets inside the plastic it could get trapped and then there is a great chance of mold or mildew.
I agree with gwillmann...don't think cling wrap would be a very good idea...

Lovely for any kitchen. Would also make a great pad holder for grocery list in the kitchen.
