Towel holder with own hands
An important role in the arrangement of the bathroomoccupies the holder for towels. It is convenient when the towel is hanging next to the washbasin or bathtub, at arm's length. Today we propose to see three very simple master classes how to make a holder for towels with your own hands in the form of a bar or ring. Content:
Wall-mounted towel holder with own hands in the form of a bar
Necessary materials and tools:
- metal or wooden crossbeams;
- old leather belts or stripes of leather;
- drill, dowels and screws.
⇒ Step 1. Prepare the crossbeams. If you use wood, then it makes sense to cover them with a water-repellent impregnation or varnish, if metal - choose pipes from light stainless alloys. Take care that the edges of the bars are not sharp or jagged. Treat them with a nest or file. You can also use some options of plastic gags or soft covers on the ends of the crossbar. ⇒ Step 2. Unnecessary leather belts are an excellent option for holders. But instead of them you can use strips of skin, tight bands or slings. Cut the strap into 4 pieces. Fold one part in half and use an awl or drill through hole near the ends. The holes can already be on the belt.
⇒ Step 3. Drill two holes in the wall. The distance between them should be 10-15 cm less than the length of the bar. In the hole, plug in the dowel, then attach a piece of the belt folded in half and screw it with a screw.
⇒ Step 4. Insert the crossbar into the straps. The towel holder is ready for use! By the way, on such a holder in the form of a bar, you can hang paper towels in rolls.
Wall holder for towel in the form of a ring
Necessary materials and tools:
- metal ring;
- old leather belt or strip of leather;
- drill, dowels and screws.
⇒ Step 1. Cut a piece of leather strap or leather 10-15 cm long. Fold it twice and make a through hole through the hole with a stylus or drill closer to the ends. ⇒ Step 2. Make a loop around the ring with a belt. If desired, you can use the glue so that the ring does not rotate in the loop. ⇒ Step 3. Drill a hole in the wall, drive in the dowel and screw the leather loop with the screw.
Towel rail with ceiling mount
Quite an unusual design of the holder, reminiscent of a circus trapezoid. If you use buckles similar to those used in the shoulder straps of the bag, the height of the bar can be adjusted.
Necessary materials and tools:
- metal or wooden crossbeam;
- 2 belts with a length of at least 1.5 m (2 slings, polypropylene tapes or dense cotton);
- drill, dowels and screws;
- ceiling mounts - hooks or rings.
⇒ Step 1. Make a loop at the end of each strap. If you do not plan to pull the bar out of the hinges to change rolls of paper towels, you can tightly wrap the strap around the crossbar, sew and glue or use Velcro. ⇒ Step 2. Install special fixings in the ceiling with the help of drills, screws and dowels. Make sure that the length of the belts is the same, and the distance between the fasteners is equal to the distance between the loops on the crossbar. Then the bar will hang exactly, parallel to the floor. Make a loop on the straps and attach them to the fasteners.
The three above-mentioned towel holders can be used not only in the bathroom, but also in the kitchen, as well as in the toilets of cafes and public institutions, in swimming pools or saunas.
