With the summer months ahead
you may be planning to spend a lot of time with your family at the pool or the
beach. Regardless of which one you will be attending you will need to bring
lots of towels, especially for your little ones. Towels normally aren’t the
easiest thing to lug around. They are typically flung over your shoulders, or
stuffed into a bag. Create this Striped Beach Towel Basket to make carrying
your towels even easier. Have your kids get in on the action by helping you
create this great summer project.
