My little guy was not in the mood for crafting when we made our garland so my daughter got to paint all 12 toilet paper rolls, she didn’t mind at all. Our Christmas garland is now draped around our kitchen lights and looks to colorful and festive! Where are you going to hang yours?
Supplies:

Directions:
1. Paint toilet paper rolls and set them out to dry.
2. Once the toilet paper rolls are dry, cut a piece of string and tape it to the inside. Have child wrap the string around the toilet paper roll and tape the end to the toilet paper roll to secure.
3. When all the toilet paper rolls have been wrapped with string, cut a long piece of string and have child put all the cardboard tubes on the string.
