CATEGORY: Decorations

Xmas
MATERIALS:
• Paper towel rolls

• Paint and or decoupage materials to decorate the cut up rolls.
DIRECTIONS:
Cut up paper towel rolls and toilet paper rolls and have the children
decorate them .When they are dry they can be used for the garlands.
They can be decoupaged with tissue paper or other pieces of paper or
they can be painted, or even have stickers put all over.
The preparing of the pieces of cut up rolls can be done as a separate
activity. And then when they are all ready and dry use them to make the
garlands. You will also need to decorate some small paper plates that will
be used to separate the rolls.
For stringing you can use yarn or string and use a small plate or cupcake
holder to separate the pieces from each other. Keep on stringing and
adding pieces until you feel your garland is long enough or you run out of
stuff.

the glue after it has dried.
Using a glue bottle squeeze glue all over onto wax paper and don’t stop

Make squiggles with the glue.
Wait until the glue is dry and hard. If you did not color the white glue than
paint the glue squiggles on the wax paper.
