Indian Corn Cob Craft
Make a Corn Cob Out of a Toilet Paper Roll

By Sherri Osborn, About.com

Follow these instructions and you can make a cob of Indian corn out of a toilet tissue roll.

  • Age Guideline: 5 Years and Up
  • Time Required: 30 minutes (Does not include drying time)

The above age and time guidelines are estimates. This project can be modified to suit other ages and may take more or less time depending on your circumstances.

 

Materials Needed:

Instructions:
Cut out 4 leaf shapes out of green construction paper. You want your leaf to be about 2-inches wide and 6-inches long. It should be tapered to a point on one end.

Stand the toilet paper roll up on one end and glue the leaf shapes onto the toilet tissue roll so the flat side of the leaf lines up along the bottom edge of the toilet tissue roll. Glue the leaf half way up the toilet tissue roll so part of the leaf flops back and about half of the roll is showing above the leaves. The sides of the leaves will overlap a little.

Once your leaves are in place, spread the section of the toilet tissue roll that is showing with glue and stick the popcorn all over it so it looks like an ear of corn!
