    Default Hand Towels!

    Sorry ~ not the most exciting subject I'm afraid

    I am looking for hand towels in at least eight different colours. I'd like them to have a 'circle thing' ~ can't think of the technical term! So I can hand each one on a hook without it easily falling off. Googling 'hand towel with a hole in it didn't work >_< ... Do you know what I mean!? If you just hang them without the hole to go on the hook, they just all end up on the floor. Any suggestions??


    Have a good weekend!

    I've just sewn ribbon tags onto one corner to create a loop. Would this work for you? x

    Lol, sounds like a good time to give it a go. Ribbon's a lot cheaper than new towels! xx

    I bought loads from a hotel supplier and roll them up in a basket with a little wicker bin to put them in after use. Take and shake a new one each time and put it in the laundry bin. Wash once a week. Saves me trying to keep them to their own towel and We use upstairs and downstairs so same system in both. I also use white apron when cooking and white tea towels so they all go in one wash. ....but I only work 3 days a week.

    Or you could get an eyelet punch and punch holes into them that way. I also bought (ages ago from Lakeland, I think) some plastic hooks that snapped onto tea towels.

    I use flannels from ikea...think they were £1 each, they're a decent size and they've already got a little loop sewn into them so I have them hanging off magnetic hooks attached to the radiator in my downstairs loo...

    That's what I use. :-)
    Mine are on shower curtain plastic hoop things that attach to the towel rail in downstairs toilet. Each plastic hoop has a laminated name tag and then I change the 'towel' each day.
