[Blindhands at aol.com]

Hey joseli
 
Isn't  that just Origami with towels or wash cloths?  You can do  that!
 
How about a Monday Night Origami session?  You owe us one.

Cruise ships such as Carnival and Royal Caribbean fold towels  and 
washcloths
into various types of animals as a surprise for the kids  every evening.  On
our most recent cruise, they made a bat and hung it  from a hanger in the
middle of our room.  At some point during the  cruise they have a
demonstration of how they fold them.   Unfortunately, I have not gotten to
one of these sessions.  In the  back of my head, I think that I came across
some type of booklet on how to  make these animals.  I'll keep my eye out 
and
let you know if I find  something.

When you say that they make such things  like puppy dogs, etc out of wash
cloths, do they do this by just  folding  them?  Do they need to cut  and 
sew
the wash  cloth?

I really would like to find a teacher to teach us how to fold  wash cloths,
napkins or diapers into these creative items that I have come  across in the
past.

We just had a baby shower for my daughter and  she was given the I think it
was a cake, but it have diapers all rolled up  and then decorated with baby
type  things.  I never did get to  touch it to figure it out.

hi  all,
i run a  training center for blind persons and one of the classes  offered 
is
a  craft class made up of seniors. they fund their own program  by  selling
the items they make such as reefs, lap ghans, and angels and   puppies made
out of wash cloths.
you could also make rag rugs, pot   holders, bird houses, throws, and items
reflecting the holidays.   HTH!
