Tutorial: Hat and scarf set from a hooded towel

Guess what Lisa from Cucicucicoo used to make these animal hat and scarf sets? Hooded towels, that’s what! Genius!! The hoods already had the animal faces made, and there were also little feet attached to corners of the towel. Clever cutting allowed her to repurpose all of that cuteness into a matching hat and scarf. Go to Cucicuicoo for a tutorial showing how she did it.
