It’s remarkably simple to transform baby washcloths into adorable elephants, perfect for adorning packages, sitting atop diaper cakes, or as an inexpensive gift on their own. The washcloths are not damaged in any way, so they can simply be unfolded and used once given as a gift.
To start you’ll need 2 baby washclothsper elephant that you wish to make. We recommend using the organic bamboo baby washcloths, they work great.

Fold both sides of your towel length-ways, into the middle
Roll both sides until they meet the middle
Roll the right side diagonally
