2. Measure and Mark the Wood

Using your measuring tape, mark the plank of wood at the 4-inch, 8-inch, and 10-inch marks. These measurements will ensure your towel organizer is perfectly spaced.

    How are you using the 4,8, and 10 in marks?

  • Aggie Aggie on Jul 13, 2025

    I like the idea but why use the wood? Why didn't she just attach to the wall?

    Very nice Idea and along with other ideas Hooks for drying the towels can be added to the side or the bottom. I live in a 1940s style small cape and for some reason storage space is at a minimum I am going to see if this will fit behind my bathroom door and also possibly make my own racks out of dowels or even leather straps to accommodate a smaller depth :) Thank you for the idea.
