Disney Cruise Line Towel Art: Elephant
Disney Cruises are filled with magical moments.
From amazing activities and events on-board to the smallest details such as the fun towel animals you’ll find in your room.
The art of towelgami is a Disney Cruise Line tradition and now you can create your own!
- 2 wash cloths
- 1 hand towel
- 1 rubber band
- Various decorations
-
Fold both length-wise edges of towel about one inch inward.
-
Roll up each end of the towel toward the centre of the hand towel.
-
Have both ends meet in the centre of the towel.
-
Fold the rolled up hand towel in half with the centre cut of the towel facing outward.
-
Secure with rubber band to make the "legs" of the elephant.
-
Take your first wash cloth and secure the top. Next begin rolling each side's top corner diagonally toward the centre of the wash cloth.
-
This should turn the wash cloth into a long, narrow "V" shape, which will be the "trunk" of the elephant.
-
Slip the narrow end of the V-shaped wash cloth through the rubber band in front of the legs.
-
Place the wider end of the "V" over the back of the legs and shape the narrow end of the "V" into a trunk. This forms the head and trunk of the elephant on top of its legs.
-
With the second wash cloth, fold accordion-style with about 1/2 - inch folds.
-
Fold the accordion in half to have the two ends meet to form a crease in the middle of the wash cloth.
-
Take the accordion-fold towel and place on top of the legs and underneath the wider end of the “V” with the crease of the accordion-fold towel guiding your centre point. This forms the ears of the elephant
-
Next secure the wide end up the V-shaped trunk by slipping it under the rubber bands that are also securing the elephant legs.
-
Extend the accordion-fold towels to form big elephant ears and decorate as you see fit.
-
Your towelgami elephant is now ready to brighten up your room (or next bath).
