Beautiful finished samples of the toilet paper roll craft.

Don't these look amazing?

What to do with toilet paper rolls

Flatten the cardboard tube.

Using a ruler and a pencil, draw short marks 0.5" apart on the sides of the tube.

Cut the tube into 0.5"  wide rings.

Glue the rings together into interesting shapes.

Toilet paper rolls

We have a large box full of cardboard tubes. Maybe it is time to recycle them and make something beautiful.

Dolls

Our dolls were displayed at the senior center during the Black History Month celebration.

Becoming a doll

We started with an empty bottle with a little rice for weight. 

The head was formed with fiberfill or batting and tied around the neck of the bottle. A little more batting was tied around the bottle to shape the body. Thin t-shirt material was pulled over the head and tied around the neck.

                                     

The face was shaped with few stitches. With addition of yarn for the hair and the clothes, the doll started get personality. 

 Here she is. All finished and ready!
