How To Make A Toilet Paper Roll Bee
1. Cut a rectangular piece of yellow cardstock to fit around the paper roll. Overlap the edges of the paper slightly and glue or tape along the seam.
2. Cut 2 narrow strips of black cardstock. Glue around the paper roll to make stripes, leaving a space on top for the bee’s face.
3. Add 2 googly eyes to the front of the paper roll.
4. Draw the mouth on with a black sharpie or marker.
5. Dip the end of a paint brush in pink paint and add 2 dots of paint on either side of the mouth to make cheeks.
6. Bend a black pipe cleaner into a “V” shape.
7. Glue 2 pom poms onto each end. Glue the pipe cleaner to the inside top of the paper roll.
8. Cut out two wings from white cardstock. Glue or tape to the back of the paper.
Now your toilet paper roll bee is done. We love how easy this is to make!
They turn out so cute too! Kids can decorate them any way they like too. Use paint or markers to draw on the face or stripes if you don’t have all of the same supplies.
