Pencil Garland
This garland is either real cute or real embarrassing. Just how much toilet paper do we use in this house anyway? Oy. The truth is, folks, I'm far too impatient to save this many rolls. I get really eager to create about 20 paper rolls into saving. It's nearly impossible to do a large scale paper roll ideas given my child-like excitement with recyclables. Potential gets me real jazzed. How about you? Are you feeling this potential?

What do you think? Will you give it a go?

Gather:
Toilet rolls
Yellow paper
Green paper
1.5 inch fluffy pom poms
Black sharpie
Scissors
Pinking shears
White glue
For the garland assembly:
1.5 inch non fluffy poms
Fishing wire
Needle
Alternately, you could hot glue all of this together for a much quicker result. It will not be as durable however.
Create:
1. Fold yellow paper in half. Cut along fold with pinking shears. Fold the halves and cut with regular scissors to create quarters.

2. Glue the ridged edge about and inch from the bottom of the roll, leaving the brown exposed. Cut the overhang of the paper on the opposite side on 3 sides. Fold down into the roll.

3. Flatten the "sharpened" side and cut to form a point. Apply glue to the inside and push under a heavy object like a book until it dries.
4. Cut strips of green paper to length of the roll. Once the roll point dries, glue on the green strips.
5. Color the tip black.
