Toilet Paper Roll Butterflies.



I collect toilet paper rolls like a mad woman…
time to pull out a Springtime craft that will utilize my stash.

Enter the toilet paper roll butterfly!!!!

To make your own you will need:
toilet paper rolls
scissors
paint and brushes, (any colours you so wish)
twigs, (one thick one and two thin bits for antennae)
glue gun and glue sticks
creative enthusiastic helpers


To begin cut your toilet paper roll into 4 pieces.


Bend these at both ends so they form a "wing" shape...


like so!


To begin we painted our twig bodies and antennae black…this is optional…you can leave them plain.


Then paint some fancy designs on your "wings".  We did rainbows, polka dots…
we painted the inside of the "wings" as well.
Now let it dry…


Then glue it all together…glue the antennae onto the twig body
and then the wings onto the sides.



It should look something like this!


This was a great rainy day craft that channeled our creativity and LOVE of butterflies and Spring!
Not to mention it was easy to do, even for the littlest amongst us.

Bring on the butterflies!

    I love the rainbow stripes! We made some when we did a butterfly home study and experimented with shaping the wings. There were so many different looks just from changing the shapes around.

      I saw your beautiful butterflies when I did a google search, (to make sure I wasn't accidentally stealing someone's idea!!!) I love the use of the toilet paper roll as the body…and the wing variations…beautiful! Amazing what you can do with a toilet paper roll and a bit of imagination!!!

    Floating toilet is basically a piece of plumbing designed for the collection and / or disposal of fecal and bodily waste, usually, but not always, flushable toilet paper, and in some cases, liquid feces and urine. Flushable toilets use less water, while dry or dual flush toilets don't. The type of toilet you use depends on your preference, the size of your household, and your budget.
