Toilet Paper Roll Art

Inspired by Creative Carmella's idea, and my 31 Days of Free Fun series, I decided to make some toilet paper roll art with the kiddos.

Start by smocking them up! These are from Ikea and I love the long sleeves.

                    

Place any long hair into a "ragamuffin craft pony" as my daughter calls her hair style:)

                    


Dip the end of an empty toilet paper roll into some craft paint and start making circles.

I like a more regular pattern.

The kids like to get creative and use the rolls as brushes:)





Then I hung up our masterpieces to dry.

I even popped one in a frame to make it seem more like "real art".

  3. I love this, and so would my littles. It's rain in the forecast here in the NW so this would be perfect this week

  4. Cute! I have been saving toilet paper rolls for Noah's b'day next month. I am going to make palm trees out of them by stacking them. Hope it turns out well.

Thank you so much for taking the time to comment. I love hearing what you have to say! Sometimes I'm busy chasing after the three kids who can walk, or feeding the baby, but I promise, at some point I'll get back to you and head over to your blog (if you have one) to leave you a comment too:)
