Whether you’ll be gearing up to send your children off to school or dusting off the shelves of your home classroom, the season of school prep is here. This fun project uses a handful of household leftovers and is endlessly customizable.
Materials:
- An empty box (we used an old shipping box)
- Toilet Paper Tubes
- Glue
- Paint, Fabric or Tacky Paper
- Tape (optional)
Instructions:
- Find your components! We needed just 4 toilet paper rolls for this box, yours may be a bit wider, or narrower.
- Once you’ve found your pieces, it’s time to decorate. Paint is an easy and fast way to dress up the cardboard. Two coats should cover it pretty well.
- Once the pieces are dry, use a piece of tape to hold your TP rolls together and apply glue ONLY to the side that will go up against the back of your box.
- Place the TP rolls into the box and press firmly against the box. (We laid the box with that side down and then placed a paint bottle on top of the rolls to apply pressure while they dried).
- When the glue is dried, you are ready to decorate (stickers, doodles, etc.) and get organizing!
