Recycling Toilet Paper Tubes

Art can be a messy job, but it is always fun.

My new work with the kids brings the recycling principle again. This time besides the newspaper and cardboard, we used the toilet paper tube.

We wanted to make pretty flowers to be applied on a handmade recycled gift box. To accomplish this, we smashed the toilet paper tube into an oval shape then we cut it.

After this, we colored all the pieces and glued them together. Now we were ready to apply the flowers into the gift box.

The gift box was made with cardboard and painted with acrylic. 

It was made in the exact size to fit mom's gift. Surprise!

When we craft, we can make creative gifts and packages for them.

The kids loved this work so much that they didn't want to stop. Try it, and you will find an endless world of creativity and solutions that will surprise you.
