All you need is bath towels and I have a great suspicion we all have several of those in either our bathroom or closet; maybe even in both. I have not done this myself yet, but I would think that the larger the towel, the easier it is to get the job done.

I would probably use different colors for different creations; brown for a monkey, grey for an elephant, green for a turtle etc. Since the towels come in all these gorgeous colors these days, that would make it even more interesting.

You may be able to find a class teaching towel art somewhere near you, but there are lots of videos on YouTube which show you how it is done.

Books on Towel Art, or Towel Origami as it is also called, can be found in craft stores and online.

Washing towels may turn out to be a joyful occasion and you may be even looking forward to folding laundry for a change! :-)
