Step-by-step instructions will help to do the craft quickly and efficiently. The presented photographs will make it possible to compare the result of work with the work of experienced masters.
Bunny as a gift to a child
Such a small figure of towels can be installed in the bathroom before bathing, especially if the baby does not like water procedures. This will spur him to action and swimming without crying. You will need a small square towel. The first step in making a bunny figure will be folding the opposite corners on top of one another. You should get a triangle, which is twisted by a tube, starting from its base.
Then the “roll” is folded in half, and twice. The ends of the towel depict the long ears of the oblique, and the fabric bent in half is laid on the surface of the table. Then, with a tape or elastic band, the front end (the fold of the towel) is pulled together so that a small muzzle of the beast is obtained. You can attach a pompom nose and small eyes to the pins. Tie a beautiful bow from a bright satin ribbon in a contrasting color onto the elastic band on top.
"Candy" with a bright filling
The next towel figure is a perfect gift for a holiday. It is thus possible to place terry products in the closet of the child. In addition, it will be interesting for the baby to maintain order and twist the “candy filling” nicely. To do this, you need one large towel and many small ones.
Expand the base on the surface of the table and begin to fold both sides with even, equal stripes until they meet in the middle. Tie the edges at an equal distance from the ends with bright ribbons.
Now we’ll deal with the “filling” of the towel shape. Pick up large square terry towels in different colors. Fold each in half horizontally. Then roll up the tube and, turning the ends down, and folding the fabric up, put it in the pocket in the middle. When the “candy” is filled to the end, the gift can be wrapped in a beautiful plastic bag.
Swans for honeymooners
For such a figure from towels, you need 4 identical plain products. Of the two, we will make the necks of the swans, and the other two will go to the drapery of the tail. With the seeming complexity of the craft, the task will take only a couple of minutes. Spend more time decorating each fold with rose petals.
To create a neck, take a large towel, folding in half, determine the center and twist the canvas in both directions towards each other. The sharp tip will be the beak. To give the necessary form, use the power of the hands.
When both swans are in contact with their beaks, depicting a heart in the middle, cover them with another towel on each side, folded with the larger half from the bottom. Then it remains to make folds, and the gift to the newlyweds is ready!
