If you're one of the lucky families who stocked up during the start of Covid-19, you should have plenty of empty toilet paper rolls to work with...
If you're like us and did not go apolocalypse shopping, your toilet paper rolls might be a little more scarce. 😱 But it's an easy fix! Just take a piece of paper (better if it's recycled) and curl it to make a tube. Then place a tiny piece of tape to connect them.
You'll Need:
- Recycled green paper or foam (try cutting from old grocery bags) - you can color or paint if the material is not already green.
- Glue
- Tape
- Googly eyes (or paint or draw the eyes)
- Scissors
- A pen or marker for the smile and outline of the tree
- Crayons, Markers or paint to color or decorate
- Tiny Pom poms (optional idea, rip off small bits of different recycled paper to make the pom poms)
step 1
Cut slits about 1-1/2" long on each side of the paper roll.
step 2
Draw a tree shape onto the foam sheet.
step 3
Use scissors to cut the tree shape from the foam sheet.
step 4
Add collage items or use markers to represent birds, apples, flowers, etc
step 5
Stand the paper roll on its end with cut slits upward.
step 6
Slide the foam tree shape into the slits of the paper roll.
step 7
Decorate the trunk or leave it plain to complete your tree.
