Rapunzel Toilet Paper Roll Craft
You will require a paper
towel tube or a 1L or 2L milk carton, some wool (yellow or orange is best), a printer, a piece
of paper, some crayons, scissors, and glue. I always prefer to use a heavy paper
(like construction paper), but it isn't necessary.
- Colour (where appropriate) and cut out the
template pieces.
- If using a milk carton:
- cut the top and bottom
off the carton.
- Cut jagged bricks out of
the top so it looks like a turret.
- Glue on grey, black or
brown paper or paint it.
- If using a cardboard roll:
- Cut jagged bricks out of
the top so it looks like a turret.
- Glue on grey, black or
brown paper or paint it.
- Glue Rapunzel's head to the
top (so it looks like she's peering out a tall tower window).
- Cut the door down to a size
that works with your carton or tube and glue it on the bottom.
- Take 3 to 9 pieces of wool about
1+1/2 times the height of your tower and braid them.
- Take another piece of wool
and tie it to the top of your braid.
- Poke a hole in your tower,
right by Rapunzel's head (use a pencil or scissors... An adult should
help).
- Thread your wool and braid
through the tower hole (so the braid hangs down the outside of the
tower).
- Drop your wool down the tower
and out the bottom. Now tie the end to the bottom of the braid.
- You'll be able to pull the
braid up so it's barely visible and then when Rapunzel lets down her
hair, you'll be able to pull the braid back down. This is great
fun for a puppet show!
Templates:
- Close the template window after printing to return to this screen.
- Set page margins to zero if you have trouble fitting the template on one page (FILE, PAGE SETUP or FILE, PRINTER SETUP in most browsers).
