The Staging Fashionista Blog: Making an impact with Origami Towels!

Making an impact with Origami Towels!

I'm making an impact with Origami Towel Folding.  As some of you know I use origami towel designs in my staging as my signature prop.  It has been unbelievable on the amount of comments and compliments buyers make about these creations.  Realtors are always telling me how much people love the origami designs and want to know how to make them.  That is good for me and good for the home owner as it makes their home memorable because the origami designs are doing exactly what I want them to do and that is to make an impact.  Here is my latest creation for in honor of summer, origami towel flip flop slippers!  Just too cute!  Enjoy & Happy Staging!

Mannie, this is so cute! I can see why you get a lot of comments.

Those are cute.  Half the fun of going on a tropical vacation for me is when the chambermaids leave me towel art on the beds.  I have not seen anyone locally doing that in my city though.

Thank you - I love these little flip flops they add just the right touch of whimsy and fun in a family bathroom.

Hi Robert - I don't know of anyone else in my area that does this so that is what makes me different from other stagers.  The designs really add something to the staging and everyone remembers it!

Mannie, my daughter would absolutely adore you!  Here is one of her creations! :)

Hi Mannie, I love your slippers.  So cute and yes, very memorable.  We were treated to Mickey ears recently:

Too cute!  Did your talent start with paper origami?  Do you work your designs out with paper first or just play with the towels?  Happy Staging - Julie

Hi Kathy - love the mickey ears - How adorable!

Hi Virginia - it is easy to do you could do it too!

Hi Julia - I never have done paper origami I started off with towels and I keep adding to the creations.  Once you get down one towel fold you can add to it and think of other creations. 

Thanx ladies for stopping by and commenting!

I am so impressed! Very whimsy and nice touch for summer!!

You've given buyers one more reason (outside of your staging) to remember that home.  How cute!  I'd really would love to learn how to do these. Perhaps on a rainy weekend I'll spend some time on the Internet and practice.

Thanks for sharing.

HI Mannie, I have trouble tying my shoes some days!  These are just incredible.

Cathy - thank you so much and for commenting.  They are adorable!

Hi Kathy - they definitely create an impression.  I have created an instructional DVD Staging & Decorating with Creative Towel Art that will come out in the Fall that is fabulous for anyone that wants to learn how! 

Hi Laura - long time no hear!  Hope you are doing great.  Thanx so much I'm so excited about it!

It reminds me of all the cruises that we took...

Every day a different animal made with towels hanging down from the ceiling...

Posted by Joshua Zargari (MJ Decorators Workshop LI staging and home decorating) over 1 year ago

Hi Joshua - my point exactly you remembered these designs on the cruise ships so I'm sure buyers will remember the home!  Thanx for stopping by.

So impressive Mannie! A fun and memorable way to reflect on a house the buyers may love.
