Folding a raven from a towel: Step-by-step instructions with photos and comments

For these towel folding instructions and all our other instructions, we try to use only materials that are available in every household or easily available in the nearest store. For our raven you need a simple, inexpensive towel. A medium-sized towel in a dark color such as blue, black or purple is best. The thinner the towel, the easier it is to fold and the better it keeps its shape.

What you need for the towel raven:

  • A medium-sized towel (preferably dark blue or black)
  • Two wiggly eyes or white paper circles with black dots
  • An elastic band or string
  • Some tape or glue (if you want to attach the eyes)

Step 1: As you can see in the first picture, you will need a square towel in blue and a rubber band. Lay the towel flat in front of you. Then fold the towel diagonally into a triangle. Then shape the top part into a raven's head with a beak by rolling up the tip of the triangle. At the end, tie the elastic band around the lower part to hold the body in place.

Step 2: In the second picture, you can see how the raven is taking shape. Place the wiggly eyes on the raven's folded head. Shape the body by folding the towel as shown. You can now bend the wings slightly outwards to give it more life. The open beak and wiggly eyes give the raven a lively expression.

Towel raven and festive table decoration
