Introduction: Folding towel animals is a creative way to add a touch of fun to your bathroom decor or impress guests at a party. One popular choice is the towel dog, which is relatively simple to make and doesn’t require any special tools. Follow these 13 easy steps to create your very own adorable towel dog.

Step 1: Gather Materials

You will need two bath towels, a hand towel, and two rubber bands.

Step 2: Roll the Bath Towel

Lay one bath towel horizontally on a flat surface. Begin rolling each end of the towel towards the center until they meet in the middle.

Step 3: Fold Into ‘V’ Shape

Once you’ve rolled both ends towards the middle, fold the rolled towel in half to create a ‘V’ shape. This forms the body of your towel dog.

Step 4: Secure the Body

Use one rubber band to secure the open ends of the folded bath towel together, making sure it’s tight enough to hold its shape.

Step 5: Create Legs

Pull out four corners from the rolled edges of the secured bath towel. These will form your dog’s legs.

Step 6: Shape Legs

Adjust and shape each leg by pinching and folding the towel material until they resemble dog-leg shapes.

Step 7: Roll Second Bath Towel

Take the second bath towel and lay it flat on a surface. As with the first bath towel, roll both ends towards the center until they meet in the middle.

Step 8: Create Head Base

Fold one end of this second rolled bath towel over itself slightly. This will form a base for your dog’s head.

Step 9: Attach Head to Body

Place the folded base of the head section of your dog on top of its body where you secured them with a rubber band.

Step 10: Hands on Hand Towel

Lay out the hand towel and fold the top left corner down, creating a triangle. Fold the bottom right corner up, so the hand towel makes an overlapping triangle shape.

Step 11: Roll and Fold Head

Roll the bottom folded edge of the hand towel up towards the point of the triangle. Then, fold over one-third of this rolled section and bend it to secure behind what will be the dog’s head.

Step 12: Add Eyes and Ears

Use your fingers to create indentations for eyes, pulling down two points from your folded towel as ears. You can also add googly eyes or buttons for added detail.

Step 13: Secure Head to Body

Attach the remaining folded section (the part attached to the head) with another rubber band to secure it in place. Ensure you connect it snuggly to your dog’s body to complete your creation.

Now you have an adorable towel dog! Use these steps to create other towel animals or experiment with other designs, adding your personal touch to each furry friend. Enjoy incorporating these unique decorations into your home or gift them to friends or family members for a playful surprise.
