Instructions
Lay the hand towel on your work surface with the longer side on the bottom.
Fold up the bottom edge 5" and pin the sides.
Create pockets by adding 1 pin on the fold and a second pin directly above. Continue pinning to create as many pockets as you need.
Fill with toiletries to make sure that you like the placement of the pockets before you begin to sew.
Starting on the fold, stitch the sides of the hand towel caddy. Then stitch from each pin on the fold, directly above to the second pin to create pockets.
Fold the elastic piece in half and tie a knot in the end. Place your toiletries in the caddy, roll up and wrap with the elastic band.

Notes
As a reference, I placed pins along the 4", 10", 14", and 19" marks to create 5 pockets.
