The first thing that you need to do is to place your towel holder and place it at the bottom of the basket.

This makes it easier for you to find the middle part of the basket. Then, using your pliers, cut the basket, just enough for the paper towel to slide through.

Do the same with the second white wired basket.

Now, get your first wired basket and slide it through the paper towel holder, and secure it using zip ties.

We will do the same with the second basket, but before that, choose your desired height and secure the paper towel holder using zip ties.

In this video, she used four zip ties to ensure that the basket won’t fall off. The zip ties will serve as a ledge for the second basket.

Slide the second wired basket through the towel rack, and secure it with E6000. Let it set for 12-24 hours.

You can choose to spray paint it or keep it as is. You can use this in the kitchen or the bathroom.
