  • Great Book with Excellent Instructions and Illustrations
A fun little book with excellent instructions and illustrations! Now I have to go out and purchase the correct size towels to make the best use of it - a birthday party activity is in the works!

Awesome book with clever ideas; easy-to-follow instructions to boot! Now I must find & purchase the toilet paper version!

  • How can you resist?
I only took a quick peak at the contents of this book. It was a secret Santa gift for a grab bag game my family plays on Christmas. When I went on the Disney Cruise a couple years ago, I would return to my room to find a different towel animal on my bed every night. I thought it was the most welcoming thing on the whole cruise, except for the cast members of course. The book gives detailed instructions on all the origami related terms it uses so it should be really easy to follow. Just make sure you have the estimated sizes of the towels needed for which ever subject you want to create and you will have a blast. A tip for couples: it is a great suprise to come home to an elephant or a monkey on your bed after a hard day at work. ... show more

  • Wonderful
One of the first towel origami books out. Has darling ideas...mostly for the hospitality set. Good for guests. Easy to follow directions but needs a hands on approach as some directions are only followable by doing.

We went on a wretched cruise (rhymes with barnival) to mexico & the highlight was the weird origami towel animals they left on the beds & towel origami monkeys that hung from the vanity. I think all crew *must* get this in their training kit, because there's just no way you can wing it nor apply standard origami techniques to towels. I sent this book as a gift to a family member that attended the cruise as a reminder. To never invite me again. ... show more

  • love it, love it
love it, love it. creating origamis is lots of fun, and good for the youth to take time to learn. In the Islands they use these creations to place on your bed, once the bed has been made by the helpers, they place designs o it. Looks so cute and welcoming.
