Towel Trick

My sisters are amazing. I have six of them...yes, I really do! And a very special brother. They're a conglomeration of full-blooded, half, and step, but I love them all just the same. We have quite a history together.

This tip is from my sister Alicia. She has a wonderful way of tying her hand towels onto a towel ring. I took a video of her doing it, because it's too hard to explain (click on the arrow above). And I don't have any towel rings in my house, so I can't practice it myself. It helps if your towel is not a really short one.

I know it's a little hard to tell what she's doing in the video. She's wrapping the towel across the front (after folding it into a thin strip), then pulling both ends through the back of the ring to the front. Then she's fussing with it to make it look right.

Alicia's a great decorator. She's what we call a "fluffer", someone who can take an ordinary bow (or a hand towel) and fluff it into something beautiful.

Over time, you'll get to meet all my sisters and try out their tips. Lovely!
