Learn how to make your own toilet paper roll crafts and paper towel roll crafts.These are simple toilet paper tube crafts that only require a few supplies.
My favorite crafts to do with my kids are the ones that require the least amount of supplies, likes these paper roll crafts! I say toilet paper roll crafts, but I’ve got a few paper towel roll crafts to show you too.
