Toliet Paper Roll Dolls

I think I inherited my need to be crafty from my Grandma. She watches Liv and Bennett a couple of days a week and when I picked them up today we came home with our very own set of Cardboard Tube Dolls. My Grandma said that both Liv and Bennett played with them for hours today and the fun continued once we got home. I especially loved the fancy outfits that were cut out of magazines and the fact that the faces had come from our Christmas card this past year.

 

What You Need

Cardboard Tubes (Paper towel, wrapping paper, or toliet paper rolls work great)

What To Do

1. Cut the cardboard tube down to the appropriate sizes. Ours varied in size for each member of our family.

2. Cut out the faces from your photocopied picture.

3. Find outfits to cut out from a magazine for each doll. Liv said this was her favorite part of the project.

4. Glue all of your pieces together and draw on any additional pieces.
