Advent Calendar Using TP Rolls –
I love empty TP rolls and I have a really hard time throwing them away. Okay, there’s my crazy crafter confession for the day. Don’t worry you’re not going to see me on that hoarders show on tv. I do throw other things away just night TP rolls.
Just because we’re already into the month of December don’t let that discourage you from starting an Advent calendar. Who says you have to start them on the first of the month.
Advent Calendar Using TP Rolls
Supplies:
Empty toilet paper rolls
ribbon
gift wrap
glue
1. What you will need to do first is flatten your roll like picture below.
2. Then you will glue wrapping paper around it leaving ends open.
3. Once wrapped you fold each end in as shown in picture below.
4. Fill it and tie ribbon around it. I used ribbon tags to number each box.
The great thing about advent calendars is that you can start them whenever you want. You can have a 12 days of Christmas countdown or even a 7 days of Christmas countdown.
