TP Tube Indian Corn Craft

Once again, we have a supply of toilet paper tubes and I thought that they could be made into an Indian corn craft. I was thinking that these would look nice as either napkin holders or as place cards for a fall table setting. This craft is quick, easy, and only requires a few materials. You could substitute paint for the Bingo markers and paper bag for the raffia if you don't have those items on hand.

Materials:
  • toilet paper tube
  • Bingo markers
  • raffia
  • glue
Directions:
  1. Use Bingo markers to dot color onto an empty toilet paper tube to look like Indian corn kernels. We used red, orange, and purple Bingo markers from Dollar Tree. Allow ink to dry.
  2. Unroll a piece of raffia (ours was the handle from a paper shopping bag) and tear it into strips.
  3. Glue the strips of raffia to the inside of the toilet paper tube to make the corn husks.
  4. Once glue is dry you can place a napkin inside the tube or take a marker and add a name to the outside to make a place card holder for your fall table.
