Equipment

  • Paint Brush
  • Scissors
  • Pencil
  • Hot Glue Gun

Ingredients

  • 1 Toilet Paper Roll
  • Acrylic Paint
  • Pipe Cleaners
  • Grey Cardstock
  • 2 Googly Eyes

Instructions

  • Begin by painting the toilet paper roll with the acrylic paint of your choice. Depending on the colour you choose, you may need 2 layers. Allow the paint to dry.
  • As the paint dries, cut out 2 pieces of pipe cleaners, about 2 inches long each. If you have extra pipe cleaner pieces, save for another project or additional Toilet Paper Roll Love Bugs.
  • Cut out 2 rectangular pieces of cardstock, 4 inches x 2.5 inches each.
  • Fold each cardstock in half. Draw out half a heart on one side and cut to create a cardstock heart.
  • Time to assemble! Use a hot glue gun to glue both cardstock hearts on one side of the painted toilet paper roll.
  • Turn over the roll and glue the googly eyes towards the top portion of it.
  • Add glue to the bottom of the pipe cleaner pieces and secure each one on the inner front of the toilet paper roll.
  • Give the top of each pipe cleaner a little bend.
