Pinterest Project : TP Roll Snowflakes



Yes, I know they kind of look like flowers, but use your imagination people!  
We used paper towel & tp roll tubes, rulers, pencils, scissors, glue, & glitter.  
Cut the tubes in 1 inch sections...you'll need 6 of them to make each "snowflake".  One of the key things is to not use too much glue in attaching the sections together.  I glue & stack all six pieces together...holding for a minute or so before opening it up.  Then glue the end pieces together to complete the building of the piece.  Then have a plate of glue and dip it from there...into a plate of glitter.  Rinse and Repeat! :) HA!
I had my 4th graders do this..but it could easily be done by 2nd or 3rd as well.

  2. My students and I did this together but we painted them red, glued red construction paper to the back of them and called them poinsettias! They turned out great. I like the snowflake idea too.
