Eco Kids Craft: Flowers From Cardboard Tubes

Reusing things that are normally discarded or recycled is always fantastic, especially if there aren't any extra supplies to purchase! These floral patterns and designs are simply made from discarded cardboard tubes and glue! Details are this way...

 
 

Eco Kids Craft is a project started over at Growing Up Creative. We're just bonkers for their reuse of cardboard tubes and there's even a Flickr Pool of other readers who have replicated the idea!

Even if you don't use paper towels anymore in the home, most of us still use toilet paper that has a roll. Click on over to Eco Kids Craft for the full tutorial on how to make your tube pieces stick together once you have them all cut up!
