DIY Towel Cake

I found this idea on the Internet, but I have to say, I really made it look good. Put in a little time & effort and viola! Beautiful gift straight from the registry!


My friend's bridal shower had a theme: Sunflower Soirée AND she had brown towels on her registry so this worked perfectly for me. It was a great bridal shower gift that also doubled as decor.

It isn't the cheapest gift in the book, but it's a great DIY because nothing like it exists, it's adorable, and the bride will love the way you presented her registry gift!

The end product:



What you need:
  • 2 full-sized bath towels
  • 2 hand towels
  • 2 washcloths
  • 1 dowel rod
  • 3+ corsage pins
  • silk flowers 
How to do it:
  1. Lay 1 of the bath towels flat on the ground. Fold it in half so it becomes skinnier. Roll the towel up tightly, like a sleeping bag. Set it aside. 
  2. Lay the second bath towel flat on the ground and fold it in half so it becomes skinnier. Place the first rolled up towel on top of it and roll the second towel up around the first. 
  3. Take a corsage pin and pin the end of the towel to the towel base. If you're not comfortable with it holding, use 2 or more. This is the bottom tier
  4. Repeat with the other types of towels in order to create each cake tier.
  5. Stick the dowel rod in the center of the bath towel roll. Place the dowel rod through the middle tier and place the top tier atop the dowel rod.
  6. Your cake is complete! Now all you need to do is decorate :)

Happy crafting! :)
