Cardboard tube apples

When dry carefully cut your tube into thin rings.

Make a small hole in the top of each one with the split pin or scissors and place the rings inside each other, holding them together with the split pin.

    I love using toilet rolls up like this – especially since they are banned from toddler groups & school these days. I can see lots of variations for these too – maybe glitter to add a ‘Frozen’ theme? They would be especially good for Xmas too – as a table piece or on the tree! #pinitparty
