Bubble Wrap Indian Corn
Toilet Paper Rolls
Rubber Bands
Glue
Bubble Wrap
Paint Brush
Yellow, brown and red paint
Brown paper bag
Stapler
Take one of the toilet paper rolls and wrap bubble tape around it until there is a little overlap. Make sure to keep about two inches of bubble wrap extended past the toilet paper roll on each side. Glue the bubble wrap to the toilet paper holder and let dry.
Tuck in the bubble wrap on the bottom and use a rubber band around the top so it makes the end triangular like the end of corn cob. Take the brown, yellow and red paint and paint the bubble wrap bubbles so they look like corn kernels. Let them dry.
Now, its time to make the stalks. Cut the brown paper bags down one of the sides and cut the bottom until you have one large rectangular piece of brown paper. Cut it in half. Each paper bag can do two toilet rolls.
Wrap the brown paper around the bubble wrap corn cob until they meet. There should be a little excess at the bottom, but you can fold it up like a burrito and then staple it. Staple the middle of the paper so it fits secure around the corn cob, but only go from the middle of the bag down.
Fold down the top pieces of the brown paper so they look like the top of a corn stalk. Place it on the table and you have a great inexpensive and easy Thanksgiving craft.
