Make a Romantic Bath Set

Fold your way into her heart with these lovable towel creations! Everyone knows that towels are a thoughtful and practical gift but I'll admit that a basket or bag of towels isn't exactly mind blowing. BORING! These fun characters are sure to please. They make perfect Valentine, Wedding, or Anniversary gifts, and the best part is that they are budget friendly too. 

Step 1 MATERIALS

One of my favorite past times is doing what some call towel origami. I hesitate to use the word origami for these though because in my mind origami consists of ONLY the folded material. I like to use embellishments and secure my structures with rubber bands and/or packaging tape, so I prefer to just call them towel creations. When selecting materials I like to keep in mind the person receiving the gift and model it after them. (skin color, hair color etc.) The price can vary depending on the quality of towels you purchase.
TIP: If you are doing them for your spouse and want to keep it really low budget just use some towels you already own and focus your expenses on a few bath goodies and the setting. 

MATERIALS:
GAL=  2 bath towels for the body (mine is white, but choose any color or pattern you prefer)
            2 wash clothes to match the towels
            1 bath towel for her skin (mine is cream colored)
            1 bath scrunchy/ or yarn for her hair
            1 set of lips (I used lip lollipops, but you could use chocolate, wax, or fashion some from felt)
             scrap black felt for eyelashes (I've also used the fake eyelashes from the store before)

GUY = 2 bath towels for body (any color)
             2 wash clothes to match the towels
             1 bath towel for his skin 
              some yarn for the hair
              1 set of lips
              scrap black felt for eyelashes

EXTRA = Clear packaging tape
                  Scissors
                  Large rubber bands
