Cardboard Tube Forky Project

If your kids love Forky too, they’ll want to make this toilet paper roll Forky craft. He’s a fun recycled craft project that the kids can play with when they’re done making him! Check out our easy to follow video tutorial or read our step by step directions to see how to make one with your children.
Supplies
- Cardboard tubes
- White printer paper
- Colored cardstock (in brown and light brown)
- Red pipe cleaners (2)
- Glue stick
- Tape
- Scissors
- Forky craft template (click the “click here to get your freebies” image at the end of the post)
Directions
Print the Forky template and cut it out. Normally we like to use thick cardstock for most craft projects, but this is one instance in which we wouldn’t recommend thick paper. The thick paper makes it harder to glue (and stay attached to) the cardboard tube so just use plain printer paper.
Glue Forky’s clay mound to the bottom of the white body base. Flip the paper over and add glue all over the backside. Glue this to the toilet paper roll core.
Wrap one red pipe cleaner around Forky’s body, just a little below his mouth. Twist the ends together in the back so it’s snug, then cut off the excess.
Next, fold the other red pipe cleaner to create Forky’s hands. Bend this pipe cleaner so it fits around the cardboard tube and tape in place on the backside.
Fold Forky’s popsicle stick feet when they’re angled in. Use a piece of tape to tape each one on the bottom, inside of the paper roll core.
