Towel Animals!

Does anyone know how to fold towels like animals? I loved the double swan towels on our bed when we were in Mexico last.

I confess

I liked the eleaphant so much I gently took it apart and unrolled it in stages to figure out how they did it! I know I know ....Lame, I could've used those 7 mins in playa more wisely. Well, dont let that happen to you! Try this site and you wont have to spend one second of your vacation unfolding towels and making detailed sketches!

Welcome to the Fold

I had to fold 50 napkins after every shift back in my waitstaff days, but the restaurants I worked at were considerably less creative than the folks at Royal Caribbean. I've particularly noted the excellent use of foil-wrapped chocolates in the towel sculptures. They're really pretty great, aren't they?

Thanks for giving all of us the means (if not the energy) to "Recreate the style of your cruise at home," Chicago Guy. In fact, I'll be getting right on it as soon as I've finished pleating the ends of my toilet paper into fans. Nothing's too good for my guests! (wink)

OR you could just drink all the Tequila in your mini bar and then you wouldn't give two hoots about how the damn things were put together!!

Seeing how the towel art question has been answered very well, there's but one thing left to say, Rubio, You da Woman!
Sounds like a possible event for 2006 Peep Fest!
