Hand-painted wooden paper-towel holder
I made this Grinch paper-towel holder as a surprise for my wife, ready for the day we decorate the house. The Grinch is one of her favorites, and I liked the idea of making something that could join the holiday decorations while also earning its place on the counter.
What I enjoyed most was bringing all the parts of the process together: the design, the planning, the crafting, and finally the painting. I feel like I actually got the order of operations right on this one. A small victory, but a satisfying one.
I hope it becomes something we bring out year after year, and maybe something that stays in the family for holidays to come. For now, I’m just very excited to give it to her.
The Grinch is a character created by Dr. Seuss.
