Another option .... what about a teeny-tiny yo-yo?

Barb - sometimes you can find them at the Dollar Tree ($1) but the quality is not the best and they are smaller size.
I usually place a once-a-year order through this site:

I keep these on hand to use for gifts.

that is why I was reluctant about adding a button
I agree ... I'd find the button annoying as I dried things.

I like the idea of the button. You did a great job on the towel. My great grandmother used to save her towels and sew a little strip of calico at the bottom for gifts for every woman in their church. My great grandfather was the preacher. She was a very frugal person, but they both were very generous to help others.
