Hi, I thought that locker hooking would work good for a bath mat. It is made from strips of fabric.I think it would dry faster than using a towel inside. if you want a picture or design you can draw what ever you want on the rug canvas first. in my case trace or use a template LOL i cant draw worth beans.here is a utube for example. they have a whole bunch just put in lockr hooking utube to search.
