Cardboard Tube Star Garland

How we did it:
Materials List
- toilet paper tubes (toilet paper or paper towel tubes)
- scissors
- hole punch
- glue stick
- glitter (loose glitter and/or glitter glue)
- string
-
Gather your supplies. We used a glue stick since it dries fast and is less messy. We also used loose glitter and glitter glue to help decorate. (When using loose glue you will want a paper plate or piece of paper to put the glitter on.)
-
Start by cutting the toilet paper rolls in strips, stopping about 1/2 inch from the bottom. Older kids can easily do this themselves.
-
Then fan out each strip and fold it so it lays flat.
-
Then rub the glue stick along each cut strip.
-
Press the side with the glue on it into the glitter. Then tap to remove the loose glitter.
-
Then we used the glitter glue to add dimensional detail.
-
The stars dried pretty quickly since we used the glue sticks. We punched a hole at the top of each star and placed a string through the holes. Then we hung our festive garland on our mantle to ring in the holidays!
