How to make a miniature towel ladder

I started with a pair of chopsticks from the local sushi shop!

1.  Decide on the height of the ladder by measuring up the wall of the room it will be placed in.  Place another piece of furniture in the room, i.e. the bathtub or bathroom sink as a guide as to how high you want the ladder to sit on the wall.

2.  Cut the chopsticks to length.

3.  If there is enough chopstick left over you and use these pieces as the 'rungs' otherwise you can always use some spare dowel.

4.  Depending on the height of the ladder, this will determine how many rungs you can fit on.  I used 3 rungs as this helped with displaying the miniature towels.

5.  Use a good quality craft/balsa wood glue to glue the rungs to the uprights.

6.  Decorate with small pieces of fabric, I used calico.  If you pull a few strands from the bottom of the fabric it will give the effect of it being frayed like a towel.
