What you need
Toilet roll
Glue
Orange & black paper or lightweight cardstock
Wiggle eyes
Instructions
Step 1: Take your toilet roll and either paint it orange or glue some orange card stock/paper around it. By using the paper it helps to disguise that its a recycled toilet roll. It’s easier to paint or cover the full roll and cut it down later to make 3 napkin rings at once. However, if you only want 1 napkin ring cut the toilet roll into 3 first.
Step 2: Cut your toilet roll into 3 to make 3 napkin rings.
Take your black cardstock and cut a bat out.
We have not provided you with a template because it’s easier to just cut these out freehand.
If kids are making the projects you can pre-cut these shapes out for them. Folding your paper will make it easier to cut multiple ones at once.
Alternatively, you could use rubber bats from a party store or even stickers.
Glue the bat onto the ring and attach the eyes.
All done!
Its Perfect, Simple, Easy, Cost-Free, and you can add additional things to make it better.
I think this would be perfect for an easy kids craft in a classroom. The kids could easily finish them in one sitting and be able to make more than one. Too complex though for the guest who thinks it is a bad craft.
wwooww!!
I think it rocks! I don’t think its the worst craft ever.
ummm i think the idea is that its for kids. when i was a kid we always used TP rolls and Paper towel rolls for craft projects at school and in the girl scouts.
Not worst craft. One geared to the younger gen. I am having a Halloween party for my daughter’s friends. For six-year olds, this is perfect! She wants to help make them and impress her friends. Thanks for the idea!
This is the worst craft EVER, who would want to use a toilet paper role for a craft! IT STINKS!
its perfect for preschoolers because their imagination takes a simple craft and turns it into a super hero communication device…lol…i work with kids so this is a very cute idea :o)
