Magnetic Kitchen Towel Hanger

Where do you put your kitchen towels?

Since I redecorated my kitchen and bought a new refrigerator I had lost the space where I used to hang my towels. Instead there now was the magnetic side wall of my fridge...

Material:

1. neodymium magnet 16mm diameter with screw hole (in Sweden e.g. from ClasOhlson)
2. stainless steel hanger 16mm diameter, GRUNDTAL from IKEA
3. M3 screw, 12mm long with countersunk head and nut

Step 1: Most Simple Construction Ever

The hanger GRUNDTAL from IKEA consists of three parts: a hollow stainless steel tube, a plastic inset with a thread for the stainless steel top part. Normally this hanger is attached to a wall with a screw through a hole in the bottom of the plastic inset, then the stainless tube is put over the plastic part and finally the top is screwed on - keeping the whole construction together.

In order to make a magnetic hanger which you can attach to the wall of your fridge or any other magnetic surface you just have to screw the plastic part of the hanger onto a neodymium magnet with appropriate diameter. Here in Sweden the store ClasOhlson sells a round neodymium magnet with exactly the right dimensions.

There are only three things to do now:

1. mount the magnet to the bottom of the plastic inset
2. slide the stainless steel tube over the plastic part
3. screw on the stainless top part

Step 2: Use It!

Now you can use it on any magnetic surface, like the door or sides of your fridge among all the other fridge magnets and postcards.
