Cloth wrapping is as fun as origami!

Create three-dimensional animals such as wild or domestic animals.

All you need is a square of fabric, elastic band, stickers for eyes, and something to wrap, such as fruit or candy canes. Each design can be completed in a few minutes to 10 minutes.

Even with the same wrapping method, the finished impression can vary greatly depending on the item to be wrapped.

The shape of the item to be wrapped can be the body of an animal. If you wrap a round object such as an apple, it becomes a round and cute animal. If you wrap something long, it becomes a skinny animal.

Try different shapes from farm animal crafts such as calves, lambs, ducklings, and goats to hippos and elephants.

There is no need to sew, cut, or glue them, so they can be used for other purposes later.
