HOW TO FOLD A SIMPLE TOWEL PUPPY

HOW TO FOLD A SIMPLE TOWEL PUPPY

My family has never been on a cruise before, and we aren’t likely to any time soon, but my friends who have been told me about the cute ways that the cruise ship staff folds towels for rooms with kids.  I know my daughter would swoon over a surprise puppy towel left folded on her bed.  I decided to learn how to fold a simple towel puppy to give her that same surprise at home.

  6. Secure those folds with a small elastic.  Tuck the ends of the rolled towel under the elastic.

  7. When you set the folded towel up on its “legs” you will begin to see the puppy take shape!

  8. Cut a long rounded strip of felt, that is slightly thinner in the middle than at the ends.  This will serve as the puppy’s ears.

    You can also cut out a small felt shape to serve as the puppy’s nose.HOW TO FOLD A SIMPLE TOWEL PUPPY

  9. Thread the long strip of felt through the hole in the upper fold of the rolled towel.  Fluff the felt ears into place.

  10.  Set the felt nose in place on the pup’s snout.

  11. Finally, tie a ribbon around the puppy’s neck to hide the elastic.
