   Plan your washcloth flower basket crafts project with a color scheme in mind. Choose the center color washcloth and fold it imperfectly, sort of in half.

2. Start with the center.

   Roll the center washcloth in a loose roll. Add two petal color washcloths one at a time by folding each one imperfectly and rolling it loosely around the one before.

3. Complete one flower.

   Fold the green washcloth in loose triangle shape and shape it around the center and two petal washcloths. You have one washcloth flower made for your flower basket crafts.

4. Make more washcloth flowers.

   Make the same kind of flowers for at least two more washcloth flowers, in any color you choose. If you want these for your bathroom, select colors that will match the bathroom you choose.

5. Use rubber bands to hold a shape.

   Hold the flowers with rubber bands if you want them to retain a specific shape. Loose and floppy flowers do not require a rubber band.
