T.P. Roll Butterflies

 

These butterflies only take simple things that you can easily find in your house, and they are super cute! They can be a simple decoration in a bookshelf, on a desk, or anywhere you like! Let’s jump into it!

Supplies:

A T.P. Roll (toilet paper roll)

2 pieces of pipe cleaner (technically 1 and a half)

Construction paper

Glue

Scissors

Directions:

1. Cute of a strip of your t.p roll that is around 1 inch long (I made mine smaller)

2. Now cut this in half

3. Now trace those 2 strips you now have onto some paper

Note: trace both sides of the strips (you should end up with 4 traced papers in all)

4. Now cut out the papers and glue them to the t.p roll strips you have

5. They should look something like like this now:

6. Bend them in half like this (this will give you triangular shapes for the wings)

7. Put both of the (now triangular) strips next to each other so the creases line up, and wrap 1 pipe cleaner around where the creases line up (around the middle)

8. Next, take your other pipe cleaner and cut it in half if you haven’t already

9. Take this pipe cleaner half, and pull it up from under your ‘butterfly in progress’ (sorry if this is confusing! But the pictures should help :))

10. Twist it where it touches the top of the ‘butterfly’ so that one end is facing left, and one is facing right

11. Bend the ends of the pipe cleaner as you like!

12. And you’re done! I hope this wasn’t too confusing and that you enjoyed it!

How to do the Pyramid Ponytail

My dad sort of invented this hairstyle! He had been talking about taking my sisters’ hair, and putting it in a bunch of ponytails and then using a ponytail to hook those ponytails together. So I took this idea, modified it a little bit, and thus the pyramid ponytail was born!

Supplies:

7 ponytails (whatever colors you like!)

A brush/comb

Directions:

1. Brush hair thoroughly (if you want, you can create a middle part for the hair, which makes it look nicer, but you can also just leave the part ;))

2. Divide the hair into 4 sections and ponytail them off

3. Take the 2 ponytails on the left and connect them with another ponytail, and then take the 2 on the right and connect those 2 with a ponytail

4. Now connect the one on the left with the one on the right

5. Now you can braid the extra hair below the ponytails or leave it as it is 

Note: the braid needs 1 extra ponytail.

6. You’re done!

T.P. Roll Hearts

 

This craft is insanely easy, and takes under 5 minutes! These can be a perfect simple decoration to a desk, a shelf, or anywhere! You can customize the color (by covering them with paper or painting them), and they are so simple!

Supplies:

Scissors

A toilet paper roll

Paper/painting them (only if you want it; I kept mine the same)

Directions:

1. Cut your toilet paper roll into parts (around one inch long)

Note: if you wish to cover your heart in paper or paint, you can do that now :)

2. Cut a slit in the top of one of the parts

3. Now fold into this shape (really squish it down if necessary ;P)

4. Now kind of release it, so it can unfold itself, and you should get a shape like this:

5. Now you can bend it into more of a heart shape if you like!

6. And you are done!

Paper Flowers

 

These paper flowers are so simple to make and can be the perfect thing to touch up a bedroom! You can make them in any size, and color that you want! 

Supplies:

Scissors

Paper in any color (or colors) you like (I used dark pink and light pink)

Paper for the middle of the flower (I used the classic, yellow)

A glue stick

Directions:

 

1. Cute out 6 or 7 (or as many as you like) large lightbulb shapes (this is going to be for the base/bottom of the flower)

2. Glue them together as seen below

3. Keep gluing all of the lightbulb shapes together until you have a flower shape (if you have to make more lightbulb shapes that’s fine ;))

 

4. Now cut out 5 or 6 (or as many as you like) smaller lightbulb shapes (I used a different color for this part of the flower, but you can also us the same color you used before)

5. Glue them onto the flower, just like you did before

6. Cut out a yellow (or whatever color you want to use) circle, and glue it onto the middle of the flower

7. And you’re done! Make as many as you like! And I hope you enjoyed this!
