Toilet Paper Roll Crafts

The girls and I are having a girls weekend and I needed a great idea. Well I noticed all the empty toilet paper rolls so I had a brainstorm. I wanted to do something different then the usual run of the mill crafts so we came up with two crafts in one. The first is Baby Doll Tea Cups and the second that GiGi came up with was Baby Doll Purses!!!! And the absolute best part??? The same directions just different ways to hold the craft when done.

Baby Doll Tea Cups and Baby Doll Purses

Materials

3 toilet paper rolls
felt or paper cut to cover roll
stapler
glue
pipe cleaners
assorted items to decorate
glitter glue
hole punch

First gather everything you need! I like to pre assemble a little bit before the munchkins discover what I am doing.

Cut the rolls in half.

Then get your covering ready. We used felt that was left over from another project but you could use paper or even just paint.

The punch hole on one side, one in the top and one directly down at the bottom.

Then wrap covering around

And staple

Then fold a pipe cleaner in half and thread one part through the top hole.

Then twist is and attach to the bottom!!

now decorate!! We made black ones that were the purses and these are the cups!

Now my biggest pet peeve are anyone who tried to control how your kid decorates it! Let them at it, have a blast and remember, its there craft to rock out!!
