What You Need For A Washcloth Teddy Bear

What’s really great about this DIY teddy bear is that you don’t need a lot of supplies. You will need a washcloth obviously, and some rubber bands. To decorate your teddy bear, you can use ribbon or lace, whatever you have on hand.

What Other Animals Can You Make From A Washcloth?

I remember when my kids were younger, they made these adorable washcloth bunnies. Of course, if you have ever visited a relatively fancy hotel, you’ve seen swans made from towels. I’ve also seen frogs, puppies, and elephants made from washcloths.

Prep Time: 5 Minutes

Active Time: 15 Minutes

Total Time: 20 Minutes

Difficulty: Easy

Materials:

  • Washcloth – I used brown for teddy bear colors, but you can use whatever color you want
  • Rubber Bands
  • Scissors
  • Ribbon – Or whatever you want to use for decorating

Supplies needed to make a DIY washcloth teddy bear

Instructions:

1. Get your supplies together. You need a standard sized washcloth, or you can use a hand towel if that’s what you have on hand.

2. Fold the washcloth in half. The part where the two ends come together will be the bottom of your teddy bear.

3. Begin rolling the washcloth from one side. Stop rolling when you reach the center of the washcloth.

4. Roll the other side until you meet the first roll in the center.

5. Fold in half – Fold the two rolls in half and twist them so that the inside becomes the outside.

6. To make the head – Take a rubber band and section off the head part.

7. Use two more rubber bands to make tiny little ears on each side of the head.

8. Tie a ribbon or lace around the neck area for decoration.
