Master classes: figurines from towels
Wise owls
Making a soft owl from a towel is not difficult at all if you follow the step-by-step instructions. If the toy is made from a terry accessory with a pattern, then it is better to hide the decor inside, then you will get a very creative thing.
Cute bunnies
And here's how you can present a small hand towel. A very simple model, but to create it you will need important details: eyes, pompoms (for the nose and tail), elastic. For decoration you will need a ribbon.
Fold the fabric diagonally and roll it tightly
Then we fold it into a horseshoe shape, and then in half again, so that the sharp ends are on top – these are the ears. We fix the structure with an elastic band.
The final touch is to attach the eyes, nose and tail, and tie a ribbon.
Puppies
To make such a cute puppy, you need to take a thin terry towel. If you use a bath accessory, you will get a very large dog.
For work you will need eyes, a nose (they can be drawn or bought in a special store). You also need to prepare rubber bands (for example, stationery or thin ones for hair). Thick dark fabric to make ears.
We twist the fabric from both sides so that two rolls “meet” in the middle. Then we fix the head and muzzle with rubber bands. We place a strip of dark fabric inside the fold, having previously cut it in the shape of two ears. Finally, you can attach a tail.
Small details (nose and eyes) are lightly glued or secured with tailor's pins.
Towel Bear
Making such a soft toy from a towel will require accuracy, attention and imaginative thinking from you. After all, at first it is completely unclear how paws, head and ears are obtained from terry cloth.
So, we lay out a medium-sized bath accessory on a flat surface. We find the middle and start rolling from different sides to the middle. We get a double tourniquet. Holding the bottom, we need to turn the upper part around its axis so that the gap between the rollers is in front in the lower part, and the upper part is located with this gap back.
We put the resulting bundles together, but remember that the upper part is slightly shorter. We slightly move the upper rollers apart, we get the bear's paws. Then, using rubber bands, we form the head and ears.
The result is such a cute animal, a gift from a towel with your own hands. The larger the size of the canvas, the larger the bear will be. If desired, you can decorate with a ribbon, add eyes and a nose.
How to fold a swan from a towel?
Often, when we come on holiday, we are greeted at the hotel by beautifully folded terry accessories. You can create a holiday atmosphere yourself. The swan is one of the most simple figures.
Such a figurine can be made from any size of fabric. A large bath accessory can be used to make a swan almost life-size. Give yourself such a gift!
Important! When making any figures, it is better to wet the canvas with water, then it is easier to give it the desired shape.
Monkey from a towel
Unlike most soft figurines, to appreciate the monkey made of terry cloth, you need to have it attached to a hanger. It looks more natural when hanging.
For this figurine you will need one large towel, one small one for your hands, clothespins and a hanger. Using contrasting fabrics (like yellow and brown) you can get very interesting monkeys. Since one towel is used to form the body and the other one for the head, the different colors only enhance the impression of the toy.
Towel Elephant
To make such an elephant you need two canvases: a large bath one and a smaller, medium-sized one. The ideal color scheme is blue or white. You can also use gray or pink.
Towel Crab
The ideal colors for a crab are red, beige, and also pink or cream. This toy is also made up of two different sized towels: a large bath towel and a hand towel.
Mouse from a towel
For this figure, use two small towels: one for hands, and the second very small. Optimal colors: pink, gray, white or yellow. The figure is folded according to the origami principle.
Since the toy is quite small, it can be used as a decoration for a basket with bath accessories, or placed on a shelf in the bathroom.
Snake from a towel
Another option for an effective presentation of a large bath accessory. It is better if it is green. We draw the eyes of the snake on paper or buy “live eyes” in a craft store.
Bouquet of towels
Rolled up canvases of different colors are placed in a beautiful basket. Stamens are made from cotton swabs. Corrugated paper or artificial flowers are used as an addition.
Cakes and pies made from towels
Small terry towels of two colors are twisted and the top is decorated with decorative berries. The composition is placed on cake paper or any other base.
Also a spectacular option. The plain fabric is complemented with a red ribbon and decorated with strawberries.
DIY Towel Bottle
A wonderful gift for men: both necessary and effectively presented.
The most primitive option: roll the fabric into a tube, then use rubber bands to give it the desired shape and attach the label.
A more interesting option, which also requires a cap. The trick is that the canvas is rolled up very tightly, and then fixed in the right places with an elastic band.
Jacket or women's blouse from a towel
For a men's jacket you will need a black and white cloth measuring 40x60 cm, for a tie - a red square 30x30 cm.
First, combine the black and white towels. Fold both sides so that they meet in the middle. Then fold back the corners - the collar is ready. Secure the corners with pins. Fold the red towel at the corner to make a triangle. Then fold the edges of the triangle again so that the tie is more elongated. Secure it with a pin. Finally, place the tie on top of the "jacket" and tuck the edge inside.
As you can see, even an ordinary towel can become a nice toy or an original gift. A little imagination and you will be able to surprise and please your loved ones.
