    Steps:

    1. Fold the dish towel so that it forms a square (figure A). Fold the square so that opposite corners meet to form a triangle (figure B). Fold the top point (apex) of the triangle down to meet the base of the triangle. The towel should now form a trapezoid shape.

    2. Tightly roll the towel, starting at the top edge and rolling to the bottom edge (figure C). Tack the center of the rolled towel with matching thread.

    3. Fold the rolled towel in half (figure D), forming a loop at the fold. Pull the top half of the towel back toward the fold (figure E) to form the "ears" of the rabbit. Wrap a piece of thread around the towel to hold the ears in place and to form the "head" of the rabbit (figure F).

    4. Glue a pink pompon to the front of the rabbit's face for a nose. Glue smaller black pompons to the face for eyes. Glue a white pompon on the back of the loop to make the rabbit's tail. Fashion a bow around the rabbit's neck using a ribbon.

    5. For a different face, put a medium-sized knit bag over the face of the rabbit. Sew indentions where the eyes of the rabbit should be (figure G). Glue black beads or pompons for the eyes and a pink pompon for the nose (figure H). Wrap a ribbon around the rabbit's neck and tie a bow (figure I).

    2. Roll the edge of the towel with the flipped corners until it meets the center (figure L). Accordion fold the other edge of the towel (figure M) until it meets the center and the rolled part of the towel rests on top of the folds (figure N).

    3. Fold the rolled and folded towel in the half (figure O). The rolled ends of the towel should stick up in the center to look like flower stems in a vase (figure P). Tie a ribbon around the base and slightly turn out the folds.

    4. Glue fabric and Battenburg roses to the tops of the "stems" (figure Q).
