    I would buy a thin towel and cut it into diamond shapes then fold, like a storks bundle. About 8" at the longest point when laid flat. Fold, then tie the knot using white cotton as you couldn't tye a knot with that small amount of towelling. Insert a pink chocolate at one end. On the pink chocolate you could use a black icing pen to draw eyes & a smiley mouth. Then wrap in cello with whatever colour ribbon blue or pink and voila. You could get loads out of a cheap asda bath towel. You could even use the ar se end of a pink sugar/chocolate mouse a nd hide the nose in the nappy.
