Spark smiles with the use of a whimsical craft supply - and make creations of unexpected beauty! This big collection of 60 projects ranges from simple make-in-minutes hearts to elaborate masks. Crafters of all ages and experience levels will enjoy turning toilet paper into budget-friendly, fun, and unforgettable new designs. Great for kids' camps and senior centers too!
Humorous as it sounds, toilet paper makes an ideal material for crafts. It is readily available, inexpensive and versatile. You can cut, fold, glitter, glue, scrunch, twist, paint or sew it. Embossed with ornamental patterns, it gives the crafter a head start on embellishment. Its strip format and perforations eliminate the need for a lot of measuring and cutting.
Because it is manufactured to be soft yet strong, toilet paper produces creations that are delicate in appearance - but surprisingly sturdy. You will learn how to choose the best toilet paper for your projects and use its unique properties to your advantage.
Step-by-step illustrated instructions are included and a collage of color photographs on the back cover for inspiration. More than 60 full-size copy-or-trace templates are included to ensure success and provide lesson-planning assistance for art teachers, camp counselors and activity directors.
These projects use stitchery, origami, kanzashi, and basic craft techniques to make charming papercrafts including decorations, ornaments, party favors, cards, wearables and gifts.
Make garlands of connected hearts, bunnies or ghosts from fool-proof patterns, a gorgeous wreath, and fancy snowflakes. Create a rosette broach for Mom, cute little 3D butterflies, giant pom poms, special greeting cards and a hilarious money roll that can be stuffed with dollar bills or messages on slips of paper.
Kids will love shaking up a strip of TP in a jar of water to make pulp for a new handmade paper that is stiff and rich in texture. Add glitter for shimmer, cut it into shapes from the templates provided and add a ribbon for hanging. Sprinkle it with scented oil for sachets.
Best of all, crafting with toilet paper is lots of fun! The quirkiness of creating lovely items from such a supply is guaranteed to put a twinkle in your eye and a smile on your face!
