Towel holder with own hands
An important role in the arrangement of the bathroomoccupies a towel holder. It is convenient when the towel hangs next to the sink or bathtub, at arm's length. Today we offer to watch three very simple master classes on how to make a towel holder with your own hands in the form of a rod or ring. Contents:
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 crossbars.If you use wooden ones, it makes sense to cover them with a water-repellent impregnation or varnish, if metal ones, choose pipes made of light stainless alloys. Make sure that the edges of the rods are not sharp or jagged. Treat them with sandpaper or a file. You can also use some kind of plastic plugs or soft covers for the ends of the crossbar.
⇒ Step 2.Unnecessary leather belts are a great option for holders. But instead of them, you can use strips of leather, thick tape or straps. Cut the belt into 4 parts. Fold one part in half and make a through hole closer to the ends with an awl or drill. 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 rod. Hammer a dowel into the hole, then attach a piece of belt folded in half and screw it with a screw.
⇒ Step 4. Insert the bar into the straps. The towel holder is ready to use! By the way, you can hang paper towels in rolls on such a bar holder.
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 belt or leather 10-15 cm long. Fold it in half and make a through hole closer to the ends with an awl or drill.
⇒ Step 2: Make a loop with the belt around the ring.If desired, you can use glue to prevent the ring from rotating in the loop. ⇒ Step 3. Drill a hole in the wall, hammer in the dowel and screw in the leather loop with the ring.
Towel rail with ceiling mount
A rather unusual holder design, reminiscent of a circus trapeze. 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 at least 1.5 m long (2 straps, polypropylene or thick cotton tapes);
- drill, dowels and screws;
- ceiling mounts - hooks or rings.
⇒ Step 1: Make a loop at the end of each strap.If you don't plan on removing the bar from the loops to change paper towel rolls, you can wrap the strap tightly around the bar, sew and glue it, or use Velcro.
⇒ Step 2.Mount the special fasteners into the ceiling using a drill, screws and dowels. Make sure that the length of the straps 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 evenly, parallel to the floor. Make a loop on the straps and attach them to the fasteners.
The three towel holders presented above 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.
