what to do with these toilet paper rolls?!



Toilet paper rolls have to pile up in everyone's house (it can't just be us, right?).  I have a dazzling array of them sitting on a shelf in my bathroom awaiting the promise of being transformed in some super fun art project.  Most of the time they don't...but alas, this time JP decided to take charge and initiated this crafty session with his girl.  (I even saw the idea up on pinterest on his computer - he would deny it though).


They began with making monsters using up our scrap paper, felt-y bits and ribbon.  It was a use your imagination-go-crazy sort of session.  The second thing they created were owls.  JP depressed the top middle of the paper roll, which resulted in two little owl ears.  They coloured them in, added eyes and glued all sorts of accessories.   


Voila!  The fruits of their artsy afternoon together while I spent a glorious hour knitting on the couch, dropping in on their conversation.  Of course, we have many more rolls to make a whole village of owls or monsters....
