According to morning creativity, here is your supply list and directions for this toilet paper roll advent calendar:
24 used rolls (0r 25 if you’re not Norwegian), cardboard, multi purpose glue, a pair of scissors, a glue stick, twine, brown paper and a computer with printer attached. 2. Open a new document in a word prosessing program on your computer, type in all the numbers using a cool font. Print out all the numbers on brown paper. 3. Use the glue stick and attach the numbers to the rolls. Cut of the superflous brown paper. 4. Continue with a rectangular piece of cardboard and place all the used rolls on top of it making sure that it’ll fit all the rolls. Put small gifts inside the rolls and glue them onto the cardboard – sealing the gifts. Here you might wanna use something heavy to keep pressure on the rolls. 5. Make a roof with a piece of cardboard and make a chimney out of half a roll. Use twine to hang the calendar on the wall.
So cute!
Every day, the recipient pokes a hole in the correct tube and gets one gift. You can put cute little gifts like sticks of gum, lip balm, small pens or markers, candy, hair pins, photos or any other cute little personal item.
What a wonderful way to roll right into the holiday season. After you make this one, be sure to check out this fun Christmas wreath made from T.P rolls, too.
