TUTORIAL: Golf Towel

There are just not enough tutorials out there for handmade gifts for men....there really aren't - not for practical gifts anyway.....so, today I'm posting one that will not only make your man happy, but will make your day because it is is super simple (and I mean SUPER simple).

All you need is a towel, a grommet, grommet tool and some creativity.
Ready?



Start with a small towel - nothing too big.  I used these bar mop towels from Kohl's, but you can use a hand towel or anything similar.
Embroider, or embellish the towel however you like....
Next measure and mark 2" in from a corner (I used disappearing marker)
Cut a small hole a bit smaller than the grommet (you need a tight fit) and use your grommet tool or grommet pliers to install the grommet.
And that's it!  You can add a Carabiner snap hook if desired
These towels run about $15.00 on average in sporting goods stores.....and I promise, yours will be nicer than anything you can buy!
