A bowl cover for sour dough

I made a quick bowl cover for my rye sour dough bread. 

My friend taught me how to bake Danish rye bread a while ago, and my husband really likes it. So, I bake it regularly. 

In one of the steps, I have to put the dough on the counter for a day or two with a damp tea towel so that the sour dough can ferment. In my recipe, it specifically says not to let the tea towel touch the dough. I thought if I had a shower cap like tea towel, it will not touch the dough. So, here it is. A very quick make, and I am glad I made it. I used two layers of tea towels, so once I dampen the towels, they stay moist for a long time, too.
