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!
