Is it possible to make a towel swan with your own hands? How to fold an interesting and unusual sculpture at home? Read in our material.
Swan as a symbol of loyalty
Initially, the question is reasonable about why swans are rolled out of towels, and not any other birds or animals?
The answer is pretty simple and obvious. The fact is that from time immemorial it was believed that the swan is a symbol of endless love and unconditional fidelity. Biologists have proven that these birds find a life partner once and for all.
That is why the appearance of these graceful birds is a definite hint for newlyweds. This element in a hotel room is a great start to family life.
DIY towel swan: step by step master class
Even beginners can roll a swan out of a towel. You don't need to be a handicraft expert to do this.
At the same time, such a surprise can be a pleasant surprise for your significant other, which will once again remind her of your endless love.
Let's figure out how to twist a swan step by step.
First of all, you need to take a large bath towel (if you want to make 2 or 3 swans, then increase the number of towels accordingly).
The first step is to find the center of the towel. To do this, fold both long corners. After the center is found, the left side should be rolled (and the roller should be at the top).
Helpful advice! To make the rolling process easier, hold the towel with your hands. Then the roller will turn out to be smooth and neat.
Then the rolling procedure described above must be repeated on the other side. Thus, it turns out that the left and right parts in the form of rollers "meet" in the middle.
Next, you need to find the pointed edge of the towel and unfold it (as a result, it should become the head of our swan).
Now we bend the neck (you need to create a more pronounced curve to make the towel more similar to a real bird).
Important! If you want to make the bird's neck more elegant, graceful and refined, then use another smaller towel (try to choose things from the same set, you need a complete match of material and color). The smaller towel should also be rolled up (be sure to roll it along the long side). We bend the resulting roller in half and put it on the swan. So, the neck will turn out to be longer and more curved.
Thus, the process of making a swan is completed. This is the traditional classic version.
If you decide to make not one swan, but several at once, then the rest of the birds are created by analogy. The second swan can be placed next to the first or turned "face to face". The latter option will add a special romance to your figures.
Additional details
When the traditional method seems boring to you, here are some helpful tips. They will help you.
- To roll up a swan, you can use not only white towels, but also experiment with brighter colors and shades.
- To add volume to the figure, the bird needs to spread its wings.
- As an additional element, you can take another towel, from which it will turn out to make a beautiful tail (it can also be of a different shade).
- Add humor - decorate the swan with flowers or wear glasses. Such highlights will highlight the individuality of your creation.
Making towels from swans is appropriate not only for newlyweds. With a similar surprise, you can surprise your soul mate after several years of married life.
This skill will come in handy for a girl if her beloved friend gets married. You will be able to present the newlyweds with an original gift.
