Instructions:
Making the towel
cake is easy! Here's what you do...
1. Fold each bath
towel in half lengthwise twice. Roll into a tight coil and use pins
to anchor.
2. Join second
bath towel to end of first with pins. Continue coil, pinning at the
end and tying layer with narrow ribbon to secure.
3. Use hand towels
for the second layer and wash cloths for the top (rolling each layer
the same as the bath towels). Use pins to help keep each layer stable.
4. Decorative
soaps can be tucked between layers, small silk flowers attached to
the ribbons where they are tied. Drape the pearls on each layer. Add
wedding rings with little bows around at random.
5. At the top, use
carved decorative soap, a carved candle, or large silk flowers for
the topper.
6. Encircle the
bottom of the cake on the plate with large silk flowers. These can be
done in the color of the wedding party.
7. For the best
presentation and appearance, the towel cake looks lovely when placed
upon a pretty cake stand. This can be included in the gift for the
bride, or it can be provided on loan on the day of the shower for
decorative purposes only.
Meet the
Designer
This
adorable wedding cake of towels was created by a gal who calls
herself "Crafty Jan". This project goes over big when used
as a focal point or centerpiece at a wedding shower! What a unique
and creative idea! When Jan's daughter got married a while back, Jan
took her first try at constructing a towel cake. It was such a hit
that since then she's become rather infamous for these little
masterpieces among friends and family, and has been asked to make
them over and over again. So very clever and crafty!
