There's a new craft in town: TerryGami TerryGami is a fun craft

ornaments out of washcloths. Not only will children learn how to
sew, it will improve their dexterity at the same time. Moms, here's
a new solution to that nagging question: "What can I do to make my
kid's birthday party special?" Leaders of children's groups of all
kinds will now have a fresh new choice to engage children's hands
and minds for the next group meeting. Teachers, parents, and
children will love TerryGami's versatility for creating gifts for
personal use and craft sales. TerryGami cloth critters are
inexpensive, easy to make and can serve many purposes: decorations,
sachets, treat boxes and favors. Some are designed to be used to
sooth a child's boo boo; just place an ice cube between the rolls.
Colorful and inexpensive terrycloth washcloths and utility cloths
