Host John Pullum guides viewers through this decidedly quirky DVD set featuring two volumes of instruction on the popular cruise ship practice of folding towels into decorative cloth origami. Including creations such as “Basic Swan on Water,” an elephant, a snail (using a bath towel and a beach towel), a turtle, a heart-filled basket, and an “Adorable Puppy,” Cruise Ship Towel Folding combines clear instructional narration, close-up footage, and overhead views of each project. Not just for cruise ships, Pullum suggests using these towel-folding projects to spruce up a hotel room or even present a marriage proposal (if the answer is no, at least you can wipe your tears), and also offers suggestions for accessorizing with candy, buttons, pipe cleaners, and more. An appealing off-the-beaten-crafts-path title, this is recommended. Aud: P. (J. Williams-Wood)
