    A big thanks to eBay for making this DIY and blog post possible!  All opinions are mine.

    We have a little problem in our house.  Whenever our children use the bathroom the hand towel always ends up on the floor.  It's a little pet peeve of mine to walk by the bathroom and see the towel on the floor.  I understand that traditional towel holders are not always easy for children to hang towels up on so I decided to create a DIY Towel Hook to help give my children an easier way to hang up the hand towel!

    To Create a DIY Towel Hook, you will need:
    • worn, distressed, barn or reclaimed wood
    • wood shape
    • vintage hook
    • brown and cream spray paint (or the colors you prefer)
    • sandpaper
    • drill
    • nail gun
    • wood glue

    I wanted to find a fun, vintage hook to use for this project so I went searching on eBay for a unique solution!  In the mean time I found so many cool hooks I couldn't help but create an amazing collection of hooks, hangers and racks!  Come check out my Hang It Up collection HERE.
    I ended up finding a vintage hook from the UK and couldn't resist buying it for this project!
    In the mean time, I painted my wood shape cream and my larger rectangle piece of wood brown.  I used sandpaper to distress all the edges.  
    Then I used wood glue to secure the wood shape on top of the wood rectangle.

    I used my drill with a small drill bit to begin screw holes in the wood.  I didn't want my wood shape to crack and starting a whole with a drill is a great way to prevent that from happening.

    Then I used my drill to screw the hook in place.  If your drill doesn't fit well or you don't have one, you can always screw this in place with a screwdriver.

    After my DIY Towel Hook was assembled, I attached it to my wall with my nail gun!  I used 4 nails, one in each corner and this hook is so incredibly sturdy!
    I wanted my hook to sit flush against the wall and I also didn't want it to be easily pulled down.  And using a nail gun to attach this was the perfect solution!

    I love how my DIY Towel Hook turned out!  I was so inspired by all the amazing vintage hooks I found while searching eBay.
