Upcycle An Old Or Thrifted Rolling Pin Into The Cutest Kitchen Towel Holder
What's the deal with kitchen utensils multiplying without you even noticing? If you're like us and enjoy decluttering your messy home every now and then, you've probably ended up with an extra rolling pin at some point. Then comes the classic dilemma: What do I do with this thing? Save it for the next yard sale? Can I recycle it? Does anyone I know need a rolling pin? Well, we've got a clever solution for you: turn it into a kitchen towel holder.
It's a super simple DIY project. All you need is an old rolling pin and a couple of hooks, and boom — upcycled towel holder that doubles as a cute kitchen accent. The hooks will secure both ends of the rolling pin, leaving the center open as a nifty towel holder. It'll even roll when you need to grab your towel, making it super functional and fun to use. It's one way to repurpose a rolling pin into something beautiful. And hey, if you're on the other side of the spectrum with not enough rolling pins, just thrift an old one. They're usually super cheap, and you can pick a material that perfectly fits your kitchen's vibe.
How to give your rolling pin a second life
So, how do you actually make this happen? You'll need two screw-in hooks (like these Breydrok Wall-Mounted Coat Hooks) to secure the rolling pin. First, measure the rolling pin and mark where the hooks will go, making sure to position them where they hold the roller's handle. Once you've screwed the hooks into the cupboard, cabinet, or wall, simply rest the rolling pin onto them. Then, all you need to do is grab a cute towel, lay it flat over the rolling pin, and voilà! You've got yourself a stylish and functional towel holder.
There are so many ways to tweak this hack just by swapping out the hooks. For a renter-friendly option, go for adhesive hooks instead of screw-in ones. No drills, no commitment. If you're looking for something even less permanent, try over-the-door hooks that sit right on top of a cabinet door. Easy, mess-free, and totally removable. This way, your towel hanger stays as flexible as your home setup.
This hack is super budget-friendly and ridiculously easy to try. No serious DIY skills are needed, just a simple, upcycled and creative way to style your kitchen towels instead of just hanging them. So, why not give it a shot?
