MAKE A CARDBOARD TUBE WINTER SCEPTER

The wrapping paper rolls left over from gift paper usually become swords or car tunnels after Christmas has come and gone. This year though, we are saving them for these fancy winter scepters made from reused Christmas decorations!

Materials:

• Wrapping Paper Roll
• Single Hole Punch
• Scissors
• Cardstock
• Gift Wrap Ribbons

Instructions:

Step 1: Use hole punch to create holes along top and bottom edges of wrapping paper roll.

Step 2: Tie ribbon to hole at top of scepter.

Step 3: Wrap ribbon around the scepter and secure by tying to hole at bottom. Repeat for as many ribbons as you wish.

Step 4: Tie additional lengths of ribbon to holes at top of scepter.

Step 5: Cut snowflakes out of cardstock. String through additional lengths of ribbon and secure by tying knot. Repeat for as many snowflakes as you would like on the scepter.

Such a fun (and pretty) way to reuse Christmas materials while encouraging creative play!
