Hanging up kitchen towels from your oven door or the handle on your freezer can be decorative as well as practical for drying hands or dishes. Many towels come with funny sayings, bright colors, or pretty patterns that you want to put on display. The problem is, however, they are prone to falling down, particularly when you use the appliance door. It could also be that they get knocked down frequently by the family pet, or grabbed off their hanging spot by children. Whatever the reason, it can become a real annoyance when you continue to find your kitchen towels on the floor. Luckily, there is a simple solution: Keep your kitchen towels from falling by using fabric tape. 

For this hack, first purchase some fabric tape, such as this VOCH GALA double-sided tape. Double-sided fabric tape works well since you can stick it to the towel on both sides. The best thing about using this solution is that while it can keep your towels nicely hanging for decor, you can still use them to dry hands and dishes when necessary.

Determine where on the towel the fabric tape will work best. You're trying to create a situation where the towel can't slide off as the hanging parts of the towel are stuck together to create a loop. So either stick it on the bottom of the towel to stop the ends from swaying and keep your towel in place. Or use it nearer the top to keep the towel more securely on your oven, fridge, or freezer handle. The double-sided fabric tape is easily removable, and sometimes reusable, and it doesn't leave marks on the towel. So, if you don't like where you placed it at first, move it (or use another piece) in a new spot. Simply peel off one side to stick it on the towel, then carefully peel the other side off and put the other side of the towel onto it. 

There are also other DIY solutions you can use so your kitchen towels don't fall, including using towel clips to help save your towels from the floor. Or consider tying the towel into a fancy, decorative knot, like a scarf around your neck, and even using the fabric tape in this fashion so the knot stays. Alternatively, tie a bow around your towel with ribbon or just put a rubber band around it to secure it. Knots and bows can come undone, so you could purchase these Impress! silicon towel grips. You could also buy magnetic towel clips as another method to keep those towels from slipping off the handle. Or switch up the whole handle-system by installing a self-adhesive towel rack as a dedicated location for your towels.
