Welcome to Washcloth Crafts!
TerryGami is the softer side of origami!The Girl Scout organization in the United States is officially 100 years old! Congratulations!
In honor of their centennial,
I have created a little green, one cloth bear I call the Scout Bear. I made
this particular bear in green because green is the Girl Scouts’ color, but also
because the Girl Scouts promote going green.
Scout Bear Instructions are free to any scout troop leader until the end of December. They will be sent via PDF file. Just send your request to me at terry@terrygami.com. For anyone else who may be interested, the instructions are on sale at the TerryGami Etsy shop for a $1 for a limited time.

This bear can be used as a
troop activity because it is easy to make and has many uses. It can be a tree
ornament, a sachet, a toy, and it can function as a boo boo bear to soothe a
child’s boo boo. It can be used as a party favor on its own and it can hold a
few extra treats like wrapped candy, small trinkets, or cash in its' tummy.
Thin, borderless washcloths
or utility cloths sold in packages of 9 or 18 can be found at Walmart. Walmart sells all green, all blue, and all tan
packages of 9 cloths for about $3, which can be found in the dishcloth and
washcloth section. Other colors in packages of 18 are usually sold along with
seasonal items. New this year in the 18 packs are Christmas colors! A wonderful kelly green cloth is available. Perfect for the Girl Scouts!
Instead of ribbon, yarn, twine and a felt strip can
be used if you want a scarf or bow around the neck, but need to save on cost. Now yarn
with a little glitz is available, if you still want to jazz the bear up a
bit. \
Tapestry needles sold in bulk (packages of 6) can be purchased online at Anita’s Little Stitches for a reasonable price.
