How to beautifully fold a towel as a gift?

Since ancient times, it is believed that a towel as a gift is a bad omen. This superstition came from Ancient Rus. In those days, the towel was given to the guest so that he remembered the deceased. Therefore, the presented towel foreshadowed separation from relatives, quarrels in the house, the loss of loved ones.

In the modern world, many ancient rituals are not given importance. And the towels that exist today are radically different from their predecessors. Today the variety of towels is very large. There are many options: bath, kitchen, waffle, sheet; cloth for hands, face, legs, fitness products, original products in the form of a hat, tunic and other types.

Unusual sets of several towels will be a great gift for family, friends and acquaintances. Each of them, wiping with a soft high-quality terry cloth, will warmly remember the donor. It is pleasant not only to give a towel as a gift, but also it can be folded beautifully and in an original way. What figures and models are obtained - we will tell in our article.

A pleasant surprise will be a present of towels, decorated in the form of figurines of fabulous animals.

Children love to receive bright, colorful gifts. A product made of towels for curious babies, originally designed, will not cost you much, but in terms of its creativity it will take one of the first places.

To make a bear from such material, you need to prepare the following:

• the towel itself - the best choice for this purpose would be a 40x60 cm product;
• ribbon or decorative braid at least 1 meter long;
• graceful elastic bands, the best option is stationery, because they are quite durable and will not be too noticeable on the gift;
• glue or double-sided tape;
• scissors;
• Buttons or pieces of felt to design the nose and eyes, and beads can also be used.

A step-by-step guide for making a figure.

• Spread out a clean towel on a flat surface. A favorable option for this purpose is a writing (kitchen) table or bed.
• Visually, you need to divide the product into 3 parts and fold 1 of them along the length, so that its edge is in the center of the towel. This must be created carefully, avoiding creases and folds.
• After that, the product must be turned over and laid out so that the rolled-up lobe is on the right side. Then you need to twist it to the middle, strengthening a clean towel with any heavy object, a press.
• You need to do the same with the second piece of the towel. It also needs to be rolled into a tight tube and the workpiece must be fixed in this position.
• After that, the free edges should be turned out and twisted. At this stage, it is necessary to roll up the product very carefully so as not to spoil the formed paws of the bear.
• The middle area needs to be spread well. In this case, the upper part should be clearly marked - the head of the bear. It must be fixed with an elastic band. To make the head voluminous, you can put a little cotton under it.
• On the head of the figure, you need to form small ears from a towel and fix them in the same way as the head with rubber bands.
• After the bear's head is ready, eyes from buttons and a nose from felt are glued with the help of double-sided tape.
• To disguise the elastic in the neck of the bear, you can make him a beautiful bow from a colorful ribbon or a small knitted scarf. A toy bear made of a towel will look more fun if you put a small hat on its head, which is easy to make from felt.

• colored threads for embroidery.

Step-by-step instructions for making:

The towel is one of the most versatile gifts for women. A good hostess will definitely stop in the store at the shelves with terry, waffle products, and despite the fact that the house has the necessary set of towels, she will buy a few more.

• all kinds of cakes;
• rolls;
• cakes;
• cocktails;
• bottles.

Girls and women love to receive aesthetic pleasure from beautifully designed gifts. And therefore, a towel, packaged in the form of a beautifully designed cake or a small cake, will delight a lady much more than a bath product simply wrapped in a bag or box.
