Crab Towel Origami

Start with placing a clean hand towel on a flat surface. Fold the hand towel in lengthwise position until the fold reaches the middle part of the towel. After this fold the other side. So you have two folds of the towel lengthwise that meet in the middle.

Repeat the folds while you leave a third part of the towel open t the bottom part. You will end up with a funnel looking towel. Take the open end and gently roll it inwards.

Put your hand on top of the rolled part to keep it in place while you find the corners on the sides of the roll. Pull out these corners in twisting motion mimicking the curled shape of crab claws.

After making sure that the crab claws are in perfect shape, start folding the other end of the towel which was left untouched. Keep folding the part in order to create a shell behind the claws.

If you have followed the instructions to a tee you will find yourself staring right into your very own crab origami. Be more creative and you can add goggle eyes on top of the towel in the shell area to give the origami a real cute effect.

Cat Towel Origami

For this tutorial you will need two hand towels and one bath towel. You will need more towels as compared to the crab origami towel from above. Place the towel on a flat surface and start rolling the sides of the towel lengthwise. Roll the sides right into the middle of the towel.

You then will have one towel with two rolls in lengthwise position. Lift the other end of the rolls up and balance it on its end. This will be the legs of the cat mimicking a stretching while standing up position.

This time get your hand towel and fold it in half. Then fold on side diagonally reaching the other side and leaving a third of the hand towel untouched. It’s the same as when you’re making an origami boat where you fold the paper into a triangle while leaving a small rectangular portion.

Put your index finger on the top of the triangle you have made then start rolling the right side diagonally as well until it reached the middle. Then switch your hands and roll the left side this time diagonally towards the middle. You will end up with a cone shaped towel.

Place the cone shaped hand towel in between the two rolls of the towel you have rolled in the first few steps. Place it at the end part of the towel rolls where the stretching cat legs should be.

Get your other towel and fold it in half. Fold the open end of the towel around ¾ over the top of your hand towel. Flip over the towel and also fold the remaining ¼ part. After this flip the towel back again.

Now pull the corner out and make a triangle shape from both sides. It should look like ears drooping from both sides of the hand towel. Start rolling the left folded side towards the middle, and then do the same thing on the other side. Flip this over and put it on the body of the cat you made earlier.

Make small fixes if necessary. Add toy eyes and whiskers if you feel like it. Design the environment the way that you like it to be.
