As I stated a while back, I'm all into making homemade gifts for friends and family for Christmas, and other gift giving occasions. A homemade gift comes from the heart and I personally like to receive a homemade gift over a store bought one. The person who made it took a lot of thought, time and love to give a beautiful gift that could be cherished for a lifetime.I finally found a project I have never done, so this may be my major homemade gift this Christmas. There will be several people receiving a beautiful towel cake. You can click here to see the instructions on how to make one. Depending on the towels and accessories you use, you can make one to suit any occasion, weddings, Christmas, Thanksgiving, birthdays, mother's day or father's day, etc.

Things You’ll Need:
Towels (any color you like, body towel, hand towel, face cloth)
long straight decorative pins
ribbons
fake flowers
any additional accessories depending on the occasion.
1) Fold the towels in half, length wise. Proceed to roll the towel, tightly until you have a short roll. Make sure you make the roll tight otherwise you won't be able to stand the towel up straight.
2) Using the pins, in my case I bought pearl pins, secure the seam of the towel in place. Pearl pins will be seen along the seam in the back of the towel cake which will add some decoration to the cake, however you can use any pins you like as long as they are long.
3) Roll the hand towel and the face cloth in the same manner, securing the seams with the pins.
4) Stand the body towel swirl side down, then stand the hand towel, swirl side down on top of it. Do the same with the face cloth.
5) Taking the ribbon and fake flowers or any other accessories you have, decorate the cake anyway you like. I've found that sticking flowers stems in the seams of the cake work best. I've also used the ribbon by wrapping different colors to each towel. You can use your imagination here!
