By the way, exactly the same techniques can be used to fold towels - bath, facial, hand, of any size. The main thing here is freedom of action and imagination. Especially the desire to decorate your apartment and bathroom with towels in an unusual way after a trip abroad, or after a visit to a hotel - this is where many get ideas and sources of inspiration, looking closely at how professional maids fold textiles in rooms.
Towels, beautifully folded on a shelf or on a bed, decorate it, becoming a decorative element for a while. The interior begins to play with new colors, and even becomes romantic.
American roller
The easiest way to fold a towel, but nevertheless the most popular, which is traditionally used in American hotels, is to roll the towel into a roller. This method allows you to store towels very compactly - all the rollers can be conveniently folded on one shelf, while the towels can be very easily taken out at any time.
It is very simple to make a roll from a towel - for this you need to fold it in half in width, and then again, in the same way. The resulting rectangle must be rolled into a tight roller. If desired, such a roller can be tied with a ribbon - this will make it look even more beautiful, and there certainly will be no fears that the towels, for example, will disintegrate.
In time, folding towels in this way does not take more than folding towels in the classic version, but the shelf with towels will have a more comfortable look, and you will want to use such towels more and more! Towels of almost any size can be folded into the roller - for both hands and face, and even bath towels. So they are well stored without taking up a lot of space. Also, rolls of large towels can not only be put on the shelf, but also beautifully arranged, for example, on the bedside table in the bathroom, which will look even more unusual!
How to fold a large towel or sheet easily and compactly
There is a simple method that will allow you to fold a large towel compactly. It is especially useful not only for households, but also for travelers, because a towel or any other element folded in this way takes up very, very little space. Interesting? Let's take a look at each step in order.
The remaining, single piece of the towel should be folded over to the edge of the folded piece so that the edges meet.
We fold the resulting structure three times in width, as a result you will get a compact rectangle! Thinner towels are best folded in the same way, but in more layers. It is important in this case that the towels were previously
This method allows you to store the towel well, it will take up very little space, and it will also keep compact. In addition, if there is an edge on the towel, closer to its edge, as in the pictures, it will also become a decoration for the towel with this folding method. They can be stored neatly on a rack shelf in the bathroom, in the room, or on a heated towel rail. Kitchen towels can be folded in the same way quite well.
Surprise your beloved with towel swans
Swans are noble creatures associated with romance and devotion, so this option is suitable for the idea of creating a romantic setting. You can arrange such a surprise, for example, on Valentine's Day, or on any other day - so you will definitely surprise your soul mate. This idea is often used in Turkish hotels, rooms for married couples are always decorated with rose petals and candles.
To create this beauty, you need a bath towel, or better, two. Also, the finished picture can be effectively supplemented with rose petals. Such a composition will look charming if you make it from white towels, but this is not so important, because the idea itself already looks admirable.
So, let's get down to action. It is advisable to fold the towels in the place where they will be located - this way they will keep a neat shape. Also, when carrying, the swans can disintegrate, therefore it is worth moving them carefully if nevertheless the need arises.
The first step is to lay the bath towel horizontally on the bed. We visually divide it into two even parts, and fold the lower side corners of the towel towards the center. Now both folded sides of the towel need to be gently rolled towards the center, gradually, holding the other side with your fingers. This gives us two rollers with a common pointed base.
The pointed edge of the roller will form the swan's nose, and the part of the towel extending from the edge will form the neck. Now, from the resulting roller, you need to form the body of a swan, bending it in the right way.
If the swan's neck is not held high, you can take a regular hand or face towel, roll it up lengthwise, fold it in half and place it under the swan's neck. This will keep her higher.
You can complement the composition with wings - you will need another small towel that can be placed on top, and the body of the swan, spreading it out in the form of a fan. You can make not a swan out of a bird, but a peacock; for this, instead of wings, a towel can be spread out like a tail. A pair of such swans looks beautiful - they can be turned with their heads towards each other, and the bends will look like a heart.
You can fantasize, diluting the creation with various little things. For example, if you are going on a honeymoon trip, you can decorate the head of one swan with a veil made from a piece of tulle.
Towel animals - for the delight of children
If the child does not like to swim, we are ready for all sorts of tricks, just to make the process of preparation and the bathing itself pleasant. Mummies do whatever they do - a bunch of toys, colorful washcloths, rugs become permanent residents in the bathroom. But sometimes you can't lure a child with the usual methods, and a lot of effort is spent to keep him wrapped in a towel.
Skillful hands will come to the rescue, and creative animals made of towels, which children love so much. Cheerful and perky monkeys, snakes, elephants, bunnies and even crocodiles will make a child smile and make bathing fun and interesting.
Towel monkey - who is playing naughty in the bathroom?
The playful monkey always brings a smile. This animal is inherently curious and mischievous, and imagine your first sensations when, entering the bathroom, you see it, for example, on a clothes hanger?
To create a monkey, you need a bath towel and a hand towel. For fastening, you will need a hanger for towels or clothes, a clothesline and two clothespins may also work. Towels in beige, milk, brown, mustard and gray shades are best for creating a monkey.
Actually, below is a diagram of folding a towel into a monkey.
A little elephant is waiting on the shelf
Another interesting character is the baby elephant. You can also make it very simply using exactly the same set - a bath towel and a hand towel. Towels in pink, gray, blue, and white are ideal.
To fold a baby elephant out of towels, follow the diagram below.
Marine inhabitants - crab
It is always appropriate to dilute the interior of the bathroom with a marine theme, therefore you should definitely learn how to fold figures of all kinds of sea inhabitants from towels. An uncomplicated and interesting option is the crab.
Crabs are best made from towels of any bright color - so the bathroom will look colorful, and you can add mood by placing seashells and a starfish on the shelves in the bathroom. To "mold" a crab out of a towel, you will need, as before, one bath towel and one for your hands.
Mouse, come out of the bathroom, come on!
Mice are small, harmless creatures, nevertheless, they are usually afraid of them, and do not accept (apart from domestic rodents). And what would be your reaction if you saw a mouse in the bathroom? .. from the towels!
Nobody wants to kick such a mouse out of the house. To create a mouse, take two small hand towels and a napkin. Of course, the mouse will not come out quite miniature, but it will perfectly fit on a shelf or by the sink! It is better to choose a towel in white, gray, pink, brown or yellow.
Good boa constrictor
Remember the cartoon about the monkey, elephant and boa constrictor? So, now the bathroom can be decorated not only with figures, but also make a whole composition familiar from childhood! And if your children do not know about the adventures of these three friends, be sure to show them this cartoon.
We will make a boa constrictor from one towel. It can be both bath and smaller, the larger its size, the more beautiful the figure will turn out. Green is considered ideal for such a composition, but yellow, white, brown, orange, gray will be no less advantageous.

Bath accessories, among which there are terry sheets and towels, are very popular gifts for loved ones for a variety of holidays. You can, of course, just carefully roll up these textiles and put them in a bag, or you can arrange them in a very original way and turn a boring bundle into something original.
Let's look at different packaging options for towels so that you can always find the right one for a particular holiday or for someone close to you.
Towel Wrapping Workshops
The easiest option: neatly arrange the towels in an even pile, tie them with a beautiful ribbon and decorate with decor suitable for the holiday.
You can tie each rolled towel with a cord, braid or string - this option prevents the textile from unfolding, which is important if you want to present a set of small towels or napkins as a gift.
To make the gift look stylish and harmonious, try to match the color scheme. You can choose the packaging to match or contrast - it all depends on your desire.
It is better to pack colored towels with a pattern in a one-color box, but if you have chosen plain-colored textiles, then the packaging can be chosen brighter.
Delicate pastel baby towels, complemented by embroidery or appliqués, look very cute. The photo shows the factory packaging, but using this idea, you yourself can come up with something similar.
This option is perfect for a man.
But this one - more delicate, complemented by a beautiful decor - for a woman.
Quite simple, but the towels, decorated in the form of a bale with a handle, look funny. The handle is woven of ordinary yarn. On the one hand we attach a brush made of threads, on the other - a small bottle with a cosmetic or aromatic oil .. In the photo the bottle is braided, but you can use, for example, a piece of mesh or just tightly tie the neck of the bottle.
By the way, you can also attach a washcloth-net to such a gift - it fits perfectly into the likeness of a flower. A wooden comb or bath brush can be tucked behind the sling if the towel is large enough. But it is better to give such gifts exclusively to the closest family members, otherwise you may be misunderstood and inadvertently offended.
We fold the towel into a long thin roll and place it in a narrow cellophane or organza bag. It remains to tighten the top with a ribbon and attach the decor. This option is very simple, compact and good if you need to prepare a lot of small gifts - for example, for a team on March 8 or February 23.
Additionally, you can attach a postcard-tag on a long string to such a gift to emphasize the theme of the holiday.
Option "Candy" is almost the same, only we tie the packaging on both sides, imitating a candy wrapper. The length of the "candy" can be different.
In the photo you see plastic transparent boxes, but in a cellophane wrapper your soft "candy" will look even better, because you can use gift paper and mica with pictures.
The theme of confectionery in the decor of gifts from towels can be called the predominant one. Admire what cute "candy" is rolled from small towels or napkins in two colors.
You can arrange small napkins by wrapping them individually in tulle or netting. This option is good for small gifts, prizes at a holiday. Textile items are rarely bought for prizes because they are inconvenient and often not packed. But if you arrange them in this way, then your Santa Claus at a corporate party may well get such "sweets" out of the bag.
And here are the "lollipops" - very festive!
Nice rolls, right? They are easy to make from small baby towels or terrycloths. Paper razorka, decorative cherry - and "treat" can be served.
What are not muffins? Cardboard rosette, soft cupcake with a berry. The role of the berry is played by a candy on a stick. Children will definitely love it!
In a similar way, you can arrange napkins for the festive table, especially. if it is a youth party or a children's party and starched napkins are not expected.
Kitchen napkin sandwiches. Why not? You can even use real food containers - it will look even more natural.
Would you like to design your towels in the form of a roll? It can be a Christmas log, a Skazka torus, or an air roll with whipped cream - the whole point is what color of towels you use and what kind of lecor you add.
We make “ice cream” in the same way as muffin, but instead of cardboard packaging we use a transparent plastic cup. Supplement with a stick or spoon.
Disposable conical glasses can be used.
A simpler version in the form of a horn.
The cake towel design is great when you're making a big gift that includes a set of different sizes of towels and a bath sheet. What shape to compose the "cake" and how many tiers it will contain depends on the total quantity and volume of textiles.
This "cake" is a good gift for a wedding or on the occasion of the birth of a baby. You can arrange it in a variety of styles and do not skimp on additional items and decor. Taking into account the size of the structure, inside you can hide a small surprise gift that will delight the person presented after the holiday, when a single "cake" will cease to exist.
"Cake" can also be made with a filling, placing many useful items inside.
Textile "bottles" - a very original version! And it is not at all necessary to look for such gift sets on sale - you just need to print templates of packaging boxes and labels on a printer.

Simple and elegant! A great gift for March 8th. Just as in the previous version, we simply print the box or make it from thick cardboard and decorate it as desired.
Candles. Look - how simple, but how original! A great option for a gift for the New Year or Christmas. You can experiment a little and create candles with a “flame” of a different color by putting a small red or yellow napkin (or something else suitable) inside each roll.
Textile roses can be not only decorative, but also quite functional! You just need to unpack the bouquet to be convinced of this. Such a gift is suitable for practical hostesses - both flowers and benefits!
A bouquet of roses can also be used for a baby. And you can attach a variety of children's things to the bouquet - from milk bottles to soft toys.

The same, only in the box.
A very interesting option for a set of napkins in different colors. It will look beautiful in a box with a transparent lid.
Heart is, of course, the most suitable option for Valentine's Day. Use a heart-shaped backing to keep the structure in shape. The backing can be glued from cardboard or use a disposable container (they also come in the shape of a heart).
A towel package with cosmetics, a postcard and a bow will delight any woman.
Or you can put everything in a box and arrange it as a gift. or a chest.
Nice design, similar to pea pods. Only four napkins and two ribbons, but how interesting it looks!
