Craft Chic Tuesdays: Terry-Cloth Caddy
It always seems so hard to find space in the bathroom! Unless you live in a mega mansion (or are blessed with a big bathroom), countertop space simply cannot hold all of our daily toiletries. Thankfully, there is a way to turn unwanted towels into a reusable bathroom caddy. This is perfect for students living in dorms or siblings sharing a bathroom. We enjoy the simplicity of this craft and the relevance of the terry cloth towel to its environment.
