Here's another recycled toilet paper roll craft; today it is bees!
For these simple crafts, you will need:
- Toilet paper rolls
- Yellow, Black, and White construction paper
- Glue stick or craft glue
- Scissors
- Clothespins, optional
Directions:
- Measure out toilet paper roll length on the yellow construction paper. I lay the roll down, align the top with the top of the paper, and mark the bottom. I then roll the paper around the roll, allowing a little overlap and mark.
- Cut out "body" from the construction paper.
- Next, trace out 1 inch wide strips on the black construction paper and cut out.
- Trace and cut a circle for the head from the yellow construction paper.
- Trace and cut out wing shapes.
- Glue the body piece of paper to the roll. I use clothespins to help hold the paper together while it dries.
- Next, glue on the stripes. I used 3 stripes. The top and bottom stripes were held on using the clothespins, but I had to hold down the middle one until it dried since the clothespins weren't long enough.
- Glue on the wings. Hold down with clothespins to dry.
- Draw a smiley face on yellow circle and glue on. Hold down to dry.
- I cut out small strips from the black paper for antennae and glued them on too.
