Towel swan — quick card
The icon of turndown service. Master the twin-roll base and the S-neck and half the animal catalogue opens up.
1. Lay a fresh, dry bath towel flat, long edge toward you. Smooth out every wrinkle.
2. Fold both upper corners down to the centre line to form a long, sharp arrow point.
3. From the wide base, tightly roll each outer flap inward to the centre — two firm rolls.
4. Turn the towel over so the two rolls sit underneath.
5. Fold the rolled unit in half lengthwise so the rolls hug — the apex becomes the tail-tip, the bulk becomes the chest.
6. Pull the pointed end up and curve it forward into a smooth S — neck up, head forward. Tuck the tip under for the beak.
7. Stand the body, fan the wings, set the eyes, and place it centred for the guest.
