We raise the right corner to the left, but with a shift to the right.
Starting from the fold side, roll the towel into a roll. We bend it in the center and now we have bunny ears.
We wrap an elastic band around the part behind the ears to form a head. We take the tip of the material, cross it down and secure it with an elastic band, and also draw the other end under it. We got paws.

Chamomiles from napkins
Let's make a bouquet of daisies from a material that everyone will definitely have in their home! Both adults and children will enjoy the creative process, and cute flowers will pleasantly surprise anyone on International Women's Day.
Required materials and tools:
- Napkins (white and yellow)
- Threads
- Toothpicks
- Scotch
- Colored paper
- Scissors
Let's start creativity:
Using a toothpick and tape, we gradually roll a thin tube from a strip of paper, this will become the stem of the flower. Don't forget to secure the ends!
We straighten the white napkins and cut them into two even parts. Divide each yellow half in half and fold it to form a square. We cut its opposite sides with fringe.
We place the yellow element on the white base and fold the parts like an accordion.
We wrap the middle of the resulting accordion tightly with threads; the edges of the petals can be given a rounded shape and straightened. Next, we wrap the end of the stem around the thread and secure our chamomile with tape.
We straighten all layers of petals. Thus, we produce several products. We make an envelope for a bouquet from paper, we recommend putting a lace napkin inside, and decorate the rest to taste.
