• You can make swan babies with hand towels. Try for a towel swan family!
  
• If you're making a pair of swans, be sure your bath towels are of equal thickness and size for best results.
  
• This makes a great "7 Swans A Swimming" substitute if you are doing The 12 Days of Christmas for someone. You can give 7 white bath towels, fold them like swans, and place the wash cloths as suggested above in a fan shape at the rear. Add the hand towels as the water underneath in a light blue color.
  
• You can add tails to your swans too. A simple "paper fan" type fold with a hand towel works well – or you can make the triangular scroll shape (like you used for the body) with a hand towel and fold the two corners that you rolled back under the towel. Roll the side down a little so it goes around the part you tucked under. This resembles wings when you place it on the swan's back (with the point toward the back)

• Embellish the teddy bear further by embroidering a mouth and some eyes. Keep in mind that if this is a baby shower gift, the mother won't be able to reuse the washcloth.
  
• If the ends of the ribbon are starting to fray, singe then with a flame.
