Paper Towel Tutorial



A couple days ago I bought a pack of glowsticks from the Dollar Tree and when I opened up the package all of them were in a small cardboard tube. I immediately thought of a paper towel roll for my AG Doll! Here is my tutorial:


Materials:
-School Glue
-Paper Towel
-Scissors
- Glowstick Tube



Instructions
Step 1: Cut Your Glowstick tube to about 3 inches long 

Step 2: Take 2 Full Sheets of paper towel and fold them in half, hot dog style



Step 3: Cut the Paper Towel (Still Folded) to the same size as your cardboard










Step 4: Put a strip of glue down one side of the cardboard










Step 5: Take one of your cut strips and place the short edge on  the strip of glue
Step 6: Wrap the rest of the strip around the cardboard 












Step 7: Add a strip of glue on the edge and repeat steps  5-6

Step 8: Add a little glue to the last edge.
Step 9: Enjoy your new Doll Sized paper towels!

Dollar Tree Finds

For a while now I've been obsessed with the dollar store! I've had so much fun searching the dollar store for treasures, a couple of them I even painted! I thought it would be nice if I shared my finds in order to inspire you! 

These notebooks are actually small notepads that I cut smaller. I used the leftover paper for notebook paper. All I did to that was punch some hole punches in it.








This waste basket is actually a pencil cup, they have it in black but I thought the silver looked more real. 
This journal is actually from King Soopers, my mom spotted it and I grabbed one for me and my sister.

These were found at the Party Favors section. I put a little painter's tape on the ends and spray painted all of them to make them look more real.

During another visit I discovered almost the same notebooks only in a three pack! I was like WHAT? Oh well...

Back at the Party Favors section I also found some tiny recorders, they also had harmonicas but these were cuter.
