How to Towel Cupcakes

Towel cupcakes serve as ornamental and functional additions to your bathroom or sauna room environment. When you "serve" towel cupcakes they add a girly and sweet touch to anywhere they sit. Make your own towel cupcakes to decorate your home or give as gifts without spending a bundle of money.

Select a metal cupcake holder, which can be purchased at home decor stores or through craft and hobby supply stores. These holders look identical to the paper, disposable ones but are made of shiny metal. Choose a cupcake holder for each towel cupcake you want to make and set them aside on your bathroom base tray.

Select a single hand towel and spread it out in front of you on a flat surface. Select a towel in any color for this task.

Fold the longest edge of the hand towel downward in half. Repeat this with the other long edge of the towel, folding upward in half. Grasp one end of the halved towel and roll the fabric like a jelly roll.

Place the jelly-rolled hand towel into the cupcake holder. Do this so that it's sitting upright and not on the fold.

Grasp the very center of the rolled layers of towel that is facing upward. Pull this part of the fabric upward gently to create a spiraled and tiered effect. This is what makes your towel look like a cupcake with icing. Do this for as many as you want to display or give as gifts.
