The instructions for this one are pretty simple:
You take the empty toilet paper roll and push the sides in at the top. This does take a little practice, since you want it to close (I kept pushing it in too far up, and then too far down). Once you get all ends to close successfully, you can cover it with contact paper (I got the contact paper in the example from Michael's, on clearance for $0.20 a roll, but you can usually get it at the dollar store or Michael's for $2 a roll). Once I covered the roll, I folded the ends back in, and then cut out an egg with another pattern of contact paper, and colored the edges with a black sharpie (since both are green). There you have it. Works great and is actually quite sturdy. :D
We are here, my family and I, to provide crafts to people who penny pinch. Generally, we try to stick to as low of prices as possible, sometimes just re-using old items. Since we each have our own niches, you should get a pretty good range of posts. If we don't have something you are looking for, shoot us an email. We'd be glad to hear your feedback and suggestions. If you'd like to share on our blog, we can feature you! Just send us your idea, and we'll get back to you. :)
