The Toilet Roll Girls (June 2011)

Toilet Roll Girls

Doesn't sound glam isn't it.. haha... but this is the name that Kammi gave to these 4 girls made out from recycled toilet rolls.

With so many kids and adults at homes, we are building up an abundant supply of toilet paper rolls.... Instead of binning them, we can use them to do lots of simple yet fun crafts with the kids....

It was just me and Kammi at home, we decided to do a girl project... We cut out a couple of paper girl heads from an old workbook, then pasted them on top of toilet paper rolls, added some embellishments on their hats, used markers to make some patterns on their clothes.. TADA.....we now have the Toilet Roll Girls, who are (quoting Kammi) "off for their tea party at the Botanic Gardens"...

Materials used
1) Toilet paper rolls
2) craft paper to make the heads of the girls
3) stickers or embellishments
4) markers
5) craft glue and scissors

Cost = Minimal
Time spent = 30 minutes for the 4 girls
Fun = Kammi did have lots of fun after the craft work pretending that the Toilet Roll Girls are doing a tea party
(No prizes for guessing which Toilet Roll Girl was done by Kammi without my intervention.. haha)
