Lay the bath towel lengthwise onto a large, flat surface, such a bed or a table.

Carefully pull the corners of the towel out of each swirl.

Grip the two corners furthest to the right with your right hand and the two corners furthest to the left with your left hand, and pull them away from one another. The result should slightly resemble two sets of lips lying side by side.
