Not embroidery, but a new idea. My puppy is a wash cloth rolled up. The ears are a piece of felt just pulled through the head section. I thought he was cute so I wanted to share it with you. Wouldn't this be cute in place of a bow on a gift for a baby shower? Enjoy... Susan

I will do my best to remedy this puppy love I have created. Take a washcloth and roll each side tightly to the middle and hold it to keep from unrolling.The rolled part faces out. Measure up about 3 inches and fold the roll over (this will make the front legs). Take a rubber band and wrap it around this fold,(this will be the mussle/nose part) then twist the rubber band again and make another fold to wrap the rubber band around ( this will be the top of the head). You will probably have to move these folds a bit to get them proportioned properly The remained of the cloth is just foled to make the back and back legs. The tongue is a piece of felt tucked into the crease. The nose is another pice of felt or a tiny pom-pom. The tail is also a triangular piece if felt or a curl pipe cleaner tucked intom the crease. The eyes on this one are pony beads, but I prefer wiggly eyes glued on. The ears are one pice of felt cut narrow in the midle and pulled through the folded part of the head. You can also add a ribbon bow or collar. A tiny heart charm makes a cute addition to the collar too. Hope these instructions make sense. Just fold it and play with it you'll get it. Thanks for all the sweet remarks. Susan

How clever is this. I to would love to know how they are made. I do a handbag out of a face cloth and put a bar of soap in. This raises some money for charity. X

When we went on a Greek Island Cruise 4 years ago the stewards left our towels with an animal every day - they were great fun. Love and blessings Chris

I LOVE your dog. Can you direct us to the directions or post them? I think it would be great fun to have these "critters" sitting around, like in the bathroom and such. It would add some whimsy to everyday living!!

Adorable with the pink tongue. Our son took a cruise a couple months ago and they left towel and washcloth animals twice a day on the bed.
