Tuesday Crafternoon: Paper Tube Owls

My Bean collects toilet paper tubes. “We should reuse these”, she’ll say (she’s really great at reusing and recycling).  Problem is, I have some kind of creativity block when it comes to paper tubes.  I know there are a million things to do with them, I am just never compelled to do any of them, they never catch my attention enough.  Until last week when I saw these adorable creations at my work.

Painting the tubes

For this craft you will need: toilet paper tubes, tempera paint, orange construction paper, google eyes, and old greeting cards (or other colorful paper) and glue.  You’ll need to squish down the top of the tube to make the ears and then paint.  Add google eyes and an orange paper triangle nose.  Cut your colorful paper in an oblong shape and attach.  I love seeing how each owl seems to have it’s own personality!

Health and Happiness,
