The end of summer is upon us. So that means it is time to think about crafts that can be done in the house and used in the house as well. This is one of those crafts that can be done either in the house or outside in the yard.
Materials Needed:
- toothpicks
- some thin strips of paper (quilling paper works well since it’s already cut into long, thin strips)
- glue
Instructions:
1. Paint toothpicks with paint pens if you like; let dry.
2. Glue one end of a 24-inch-long strip of paper just above the toothpick’s tip. Roll tightly, and secure the end with glue.
3. Glue on another strip and continue rolling; repeat about six times to make a disc 1 1/4 inches across.
4. To decorate, glue on thinner strips in other colors. Press the coiled paper between thumb and fingers to shape the top.

Oh how I wish I would have stmbled on your post earlier today. At least I have another reason to look forward to a homework break with the kids. Adorable idea and very unique!
