  • Have you tried rolling it around something's even a kitchen roll and then remove it. How many towels are you using ad what size? It makes a big difference

    Will try a kitchen roll tube and remove it and see how I get on thanks :0)

    I was hoping to put a bottle of baileys in the middle of one and still put smellies in it too, is that going to possible???

    I shouldn't have left them so late to make.... :0(

    if you're putting something heavy on the second layer, you'll probably find it easier to place a cardboard circle (or a clean circular cake board) on top of the bottom layer to distribute the weight more evenly.

    But the bottle will be better in the middle of the bottom one as it will probably be taller than the towels. You should still be able to fit in toiletries but try to balance them so the layers don't look lopsided.

    Are you using elastic bands? I found it easier to use them around individual items & then large ones around a whole stack. Then I removed the individual ones once the layers had been stacked & then the outside ones to tie ribbon around the layers

    hope that makes sense. Don't worry, you still have plenty of time.
