Let’s do toilet paper roll fireworks stamping!
Supplies:
- black construction paper
- paint or glue
- glitter
- toilet paper roll
- rubber band
- scissors
Step 1: Make cuts in the toilet paper roll as pictured below.
Step 2: Wrap a rubber band around the slits on the toilet paper roll, then fan the slits out and bend them back, as shown below.
Step 3: Dip the toilet paper roll into paint or glue, and stamp it on the black paper. I prefer to use paint because it’s not as thick and is easier to stamp. Then, sprinkle glitter over the paint or glue and shake off the excess. Repeat until you fill up the paper with fireworks!
By the way, as much as I love glitter, I HATE that these micro plastics end up in our oceans. It is extremely harmful for our environment. Luckily, there is bio-degradable, earth friendly glitter available!
