Kitchens are surprisingly hard to keep tidy. Aside from having hard spots to clean, like the grease-prone stovetop and hard-to-reach corners, there's also the issue of everyday items like kitchen towels that never seem to stay put without a proper hook or rack. These textiles often end up draped over counters or slipping onto the floor if they don't have a proper storage solution. And although there may be numerous organizer options out there, these don't always come cheap. So, to keep towels off the kitchen counter with a simple hanging solution, consider this and super budget-friendly hack: the hair claw clip.
Aside from being inexpensive and easy to find, this hair accessory has the makings of the perfect hanging solution for kitchen towels. To pull off this DIY towel rack, take a hair claw clip and loop your towel through one of its teeth or tines using the cleaning fabric's hanging loop. If your towel doesn't have a loop, you can bunch it up for a firm grip with the interlocking teeth. Clip the accessory to a cabinet or oven handle. This hack will keep your towels in place, ensuring that they don't slide off onto the floor, so your kitchen stays clean and organized.
How to choose the hair claw clip to use
If you have a few of these hair claw clips lying around your house, then you can try this ingenious hack right now. If you don't, there's no need to fret since these clips are easy to find. You can pick them up at any dollar store or shop for them online. Do note, however, that to keep kitchen towels off the floor with a cute alternative solution, like this one, you need to choose the right hair claw clip to do the job. Not all claw clips are created equal; some are too small to even latch onto an oven handle. For best results, always use larger clips — around 5 inches long is ideal for this DIY rack.

Since bigger hair clips have longer and sturdier teeth, they are better suited for gripping kitchen towels. They are also easier to fasten to cabinet or oven handles. Nalodu's 5-inch extra-large claw clips on Amazon come in packs of 2. Most of its designs have wide teeth, so you won't have a problem hanging even large kitchen towels. If you prefer slightly smaller clips, a good option is Lukacy's 6-pack, 4-inch gold metal hair clips. Despite the size, these clips still open wide enough to fasten securely onto most handles. They come in metallic or gold-toned finishes, so they can double as decorative accents to dark handles and metallic appliances.
