We have a plethora of cardboard tubes and it seems like every day Big Brother brings me one and says we could craft with it! Today we crafted with cardboard tubes and made a fun little Autumnal display – cardboard tube apples.
Materials you will need:
Cardboard tubes
Red and green paint
Split pins
Scissors
How to make cardboard tube apples:
Paint your cardboard tubes with red and green paint, leave to dry.
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.
We’ve displayed ours in a bowl and I think they look good enough to eat!
Really good fun craft. They look really cute.

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
