Materials

Instructions

  • Place the scrapbook paper face down on your work surface. Measure the tubes and mark the cuts on each end with a pencil.
    Trace a toilet paper roll on the back of paper with a pencil
  • Draw straight lines through both pencil marks; this is so the square you will cut will be even and fit around your tube exactly.
    Connect pencil lines with a ruler
  • Cut the scrapbook paper to fit the toilet paper tube using your scissors. I recommend using a variety of paper patterns just to make them fun!

  • Place a line of double stick tape or a tape runner down your cardboard tube. I noticed that all TP tubes are not created equally; the tape runner worked best on mine.

  • Wrap the paper around the tube and secure with more adhesive or tape.

  • Cut a piece of tissue paper to fit inside the base of the cardboard tube. Use double stick tape or glue dots to secure the tissue paper.
    Attach tissue paper to the bottom of the tp roll
  • Use baker’s twine to secure the tail. Tie a bow. Cut fringe in the tissue paper.
