I’ve heard it called ‘towel origami’ before.
But I’ve always referred to it as ‘cute folded towels’ and ‘unique ways cruise ships fold towels’.
I’ve been keeping a collection of creatively folded towel photos for some time now.
I think it’s time to share them with others.
I’ve been on 2 different cruises with 2 different cruise lines:
Unfortunately, I didn’t take very many pictures of the cleverly folded towel shapes that the bedroom stewards made for us each time they cleaned our cabin.
My photos are here:
Elephant Shaped Towel Folding
On our cruise, we came back to our room one day and found this cute little elephant sitting in a pair of shoes.
Jamaican Man Created With Folded Towels & An Ashtray
This little Jamaican man wearing an ashtray hat appeared in our room during our cruise to the Bahamas.
Those are just a couple of examples of the ‘towel art’ the maids leave behind for you in your cabin when you’re on a cruise. They know how to do magical things with towels by shaping them into creative little creatures!
Fortunately, others have created some wonderful collections of creatively folded towels.
Those photos are here:
My personal favorites are:
The towel folded like a pig
The bunny rabbit towel critter
The towel folded like a stingray
