This is a card I made out of flattened toilet paper rolls. They are quite easy to make and fun to decorate! Simply flatten your toilet paper rolls, (I used 4 of them), cut a piece of DP slightly wider than the toilet paper roll and long enough to wrap around the the roll to completey cover it. I also use 4 different designs of patterned paper that match. Punch two holes in one end of each of the covered rolls in order to thread ribbon (or twine, or wire, or whatever you can come up with!) through to hold them together in a sort of book. Make a 'tag' to put into each of the slots created when you flattened the rolls. I like to add a strip of the same patterned paper as I wrapped the roll in to one end of the tag #about 1/4" wide# and round the corners. Decorate the front 'page' of the card and each of the four tags. Punch a hole in one end of each of the tags to tie a ribbon around so it can be pulled out to read or look at! And that's it!! Taa Daa!

This turned out beautifully --- thanks for the inspiration! I have quite a few rolls saved and flattened, but just need to get creative now. Seeing your completed project has motivated me!
