I’ve heard it called ‘towel origami’ before.
Personally, I’ve always referred to it as ‘cute folded towels’ or ‘fun towel foldings’ or ‘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.
My Photos Of Cute Folded Towels
I’ve been on 2 different cruises with 2 different cruise lines:
- My fun cruise with Royal Caribbean
- Highlights from our Carnival cruise wedding
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!
