How to Make a Kitchen Towel Angel.

Here's a unique way to present a housewarming gift of a set of kitchen towels. Poems about angels are optional...

Steps.

1. Gather the supplies needed. These are listed under "Things You'll Need" below. Launder the towels if they are not new.

2. Loop the two hairbands together. They will hold everything else in place.

3. Lay the hand towel/dish towel flat.

4. Starting with one long edge, accordion fold the entire towel in widths of one inch (2.5cm).

5. Fold the accordion in half lengthwise and set aside.

6. Lay the washcloth flat.

7. Accordion fold the washcloth in 1 inch (2.5cm) width folds.

8. Fold the washcloth accordion in half and sandwich it around the fold of the hand towel.

9. Starting at the loop side, accordion fold the potholder.

10. Position as shown.

11. Place one hair band around one end of the potholder, then wrap it around the nested towel/washcloth pair. Loop the other end of the hairband pair around the opposite side of the potholder.

12. Hang the "angel" by the potholder loop.

Things You'll Need.
