How to make a bear out of a towel?

Various figures from a towel can serve not only as a decoration for a banquet table or interior, but also become an excellent and original gift, and a bear made with your own hands from it is a pleasant memory for a loved one or a loved one. In addition, you are unlikely to have to spend a lot on it.

At first glance it seems that for a bear cub from a towel, only one thing is required - in fact, the towel itself, but this is not so.

1. Need a ribbon or ribbon. You can choose any of them to your taste. They should be at least 1 meter long, and reach 2.5-3 cm in width. The color is selected depending on the color of the towel. It is best to take a contrasting, but consistent with the color of the towel.
2. Scissors.
3. Rubber bands. It is best to purchase rubber bands for this "master class". They are invisible and durable at the same time.
4. Double-sided tape or glue.
5. Any decorations of your choice - buttons, doll decorative eyes, bear toy nose, eyebrow stickers.
6. Finally, the towel itself. The aspect ratio of the sides of the towel should be 2: 3. A small towel 40 x 60 cm is best, but you can choose another one with similar parameters. The color of the towel can be of any color. It can be multi-colored with polka dots, pleasant cappuccino, white, blue and pink.

Below is a step-by-step instruction for how to quickly and easily make a bear out of a regular towel.

• We lay out the towel on a flat surface, it can be both a table and a bed.
• We visually divide the towel into three parts and fold one part along the length so that its edge is in the middle of the product.
• Now we turn the towel over so that the wrapped part is on the right. We begin to twist the towel to the middle, temporarily fix it with a heavy object.

• We do the same with the other part of the towel - we twist it into a tube as well. We fix it in this position (you can also manually).
• Next, you need to turn out the free edges and twist. At this stage, it is important to roll up the product carefully so as not to spoil the curled "legs" of the bear.

• The middle area is straightened.
• The upper part is clearly visible at once - the head of the bear. We fix it with an elastic band.

• Then on the "head" you need to fold the towel in the form of two ears. We fix them with an elastic band, as well as the made head.
• To make the elastic invisible, tie a ribbon or braid around the bear's neck. The ends must be pretreated with a lighter so that the tape does not bloom.

• Decorate the product to your liking.
• The bear is ready.

You will definitely have to glue your eyes first. They can be made from large decorative buttons, or simply cut out of paper. Another original option is to buy artificial eyes in a sewing store just for such crafts. Paper eyes can be glued to weak fixation glue (so that it can be easily removed afterwards), to double-sided tape.

A fake nose can also be purchased at a sewing store or replaced with a small black button.

In addition, the originality of the design is also welcomed. It can be both clothes for a bear and various hats.For a "bear-boy" you can sew a small bow tie, and for a "bear-girl" a hat or a felt veil.

Small knitted scarves look great on such bears.

By the way, such a towel toy can be presented together with a hygiene product in a gift box. The set will look neat and beautiful.

Crafts of this kind are perfect for beginners in this business, since the process is step-by-step, step by step, quickly and easily. To do this, you do not need to have special skills and it is quite possible to make a bear in one evening. One of the most obvious advantages of such a craft is the low price and availability of materials. It's easy to make it yourself.
