Earth Day: Rolled Paper Cross

"I believe in God, I only spell it Nature." - Frank Lloyd Wright

With it being Earth Day, and with confirmation and first communion time right around the corner, it was time to share the rolled paper cross.  It is fun and super easy to do.  Plus it is made out of the glossy newspaper advertisements, so it is recycling! 

Materials:

• Glossy Newsprint 
• Glue Stick
• Hot Glue Gun

Directions:

1. Roll a lot of newsprint discs.  See my tutorial from a rolled paper bowl on how to do this.  
2. Lay out into the shape and size of a cross you like.  If you need more discs make enough to finish your project.
3. Hot glue the edges of the discs to each other. Add hot glue to the empty parts if desired for extra hold.
4. Create one long tube by making four (or more) separate ones and attaching them together. Flatten the tube and hot glue around the entire outside of the project.

That is it!  I didn't need to buy a single thing to make this project!  Totally recycled base materials (plus a little, or a lot, of glue).
