wind bath towels around base of paper towel holder and secure with hat pins.

to assemble a towel cake you will need 2 bath towels, hand towels, and washcloths, plus a bath mat and 2 shower poufs. You will also need a wooden or stainless steel paper towel holder with a base, to give it stability. Lastly, you will need a package of hat pins, or sometimes called corsage pins - ones with a pearl head. You'll also need clear scotch tape.

This usually looks best in white, though it can be done in specific colors to match the bride's decor. I find it best to get the towels from the bride's registry and get the pins from a craft store like Michaels or AC Moore in the wedding aisle. The flowers can also be purchased there, and it's a nice touch to find out the bride's favorite flower, or match what's in her bouquet. Fold all the towels into thirds lengthwise, then double over.
