Kim showed us a few weeks ago what she puts in her towel toppers to make them extra stiff for holding a towel Well i found these at our flea market and had a chance to try them/it****This is Vicki's (basketkases old deign )**turned out not to bad *****Thanks Vicki for the great design ***Thanks for LQQKING!!!!hugs Carolyn

What a great idea! I've been using dowels but they don't wash well. I'm going to hunt out plastic cable ties to see if we have any of the wider ones that you found. Thanks Carolyn! --Sharon

I guess I'm not quite understanding HOW/where you put them in. Do you just lay them inside or do you stitch them in or solid ZZ over them. Putting them just in bottom our around the hole? Thanks! just can't picture in my pea brain today......

Clever idea hat I shall remember!!!Gorgeous!!!

I've been using wooden ice cream sticks for years and have no trouble with them.

Yes, I originally did too, but wooden ice cream sticks and wooden dowels may cause a problem when laundered...which is why I have tried to come up with other alternatives that wash better...

What a clever idea. Thanks for sharing.

your welcome hugs

Well done, sounds great. I have them in our garden shed too. I am surprised that they are strong enough though to hold a tea towel. Love Chris

you need to buy the fat ones not the thin regular ones ok

I tried cable ties, but found that they were not as sturdy...but better than not using anything for sure...

They must be much heavier than the ones I had...I will have to look again!

by noah 06 Aug 2017

yes they got fat/wide ones now here

Clever idea I think you would get more than one out of one cable tie as they look to be a foot long.
