How to make Halloween Monsters from cardboard rolls
Step 1
Paint the cardboard rolls in some fun Halloween colours. We’ve used orange, black, green and shades of purple. If the kids put their fingers inside the roll it’s nice and easy to hold onto while they paint the outside. Painting the inside is optional.
Step 2
Allow cardboard rolls to dry, then decorate as you please. We cut some mouth shapes from other foam stickers. If you’d like to have arms, just insert 2 small holes in each side of the roll and insert a pipe cleaner.
We also made hair for some by wrapping a wad of wool around my hand, then tying in the middle and cutting the loops, much like a loose pom pom.
Step 3
You can hang them at the entrance to your party or on the front door, display them in the house or just play with them! Enjoy!
