Step-by-Step Tutorial
1 — Start rolling the towel and stop at the center. Then roll the other side of the towel to the center.
2 — To shape the body, twist the upper half of the towel, then fold the upper half down leaving some space at the bottom. Tie a rubber band around the towel where the bear's neck would be.
3 — For the face, unroll the upper half of the towel to make the face. Then tie the top corners of the face to create ears.
4 — Finish the bear by tying a ribbon around the neck, and voila! You have made a cute care bear towel!
