Toilet Paper Tube Castle Craft
We are on a roll with the recycling crafts for Purim, and I couldn’t be more pleased, especially since we still have a week to keep on crafting for the festive holiday! Introducing toilet paper tube castle craft, which you can make to use as a centerpiece, a scene on a sideboard, or even as a simple toy. I generally save toilet paper tubes for crafting, but this time only had five on hand, so may castle is considerably smaller than I would have preferred. I’d love to see a castle that is a few stories high, and maybe with some little rooves and flags, but with the lack of supplies on hand I went for something very basic, which is also good! What do castles have to do with Purim? Well truthfully European castles do not have anything to do with Purim, since the Purim story took place in Shushan, Iran, but certainly there was a palace where our hero Queen Esther resided, so you know anything loosely castle/palace is relevant to Purim. Now that we have clarified that, lets get crafting!
You’ll Need:
- recycled toilet paper tubes
- black and white acrylic craft paint
- small scissors, like manicure scissors
How To:
First paint your tubes, and when paint is dry paint details in opposite color. Set aside to dry, and then cut doors and castle roof line, using the tiniest scissors you can find, like embroidery scissors or nail cutting scissors, especially for cutting those tiny doors. Use your imagination and enjoy!
