On March 2024, I had a large bag of toilet paper rolls because they were originally going to be used for an art project. So, I encountered your TP Roll Chick Craft and printed out wing, fluff, eyes, and belly templates. The only difference is that I painted the cardboard tubes yellow, glued the body parts, cut out the beak, drew eyelashes on some boxes, and filled each roll with either candy or a handmade scrunchie. It was hard work, but the chicks and bunnies turned out adorably cute! After finishing, I sent some gift boxes to one of my grandmother's church friends for her children's spring-themed party.
This craft turned out spectacular! It turns out that you don't need a lot of materials to impress the crowd.

That sounds like such a fun project! Love how you added your own flair with the little details. I bet those gift boxes were a huge hit at the party. Thanks for sharing how it all came together!
