You will need:
– cardboard rolls (or you can roll a piece of cardboard into a tube shape)
– heavy solid or patterned wrapping paper
– wooden clothes pins
– paint
– additional decorations of your choice e.g. magnets, wooden cut-outs, buttons, pom poms, fabric, cute erasers or magnets, etc.
– glue (or double-sided tape)
– scissors
– flour tortillas
– fillings of your choice – turkey, peppers, lettuce, cucumber, etc.
Directions:
- Cut a piece of wrapping paper to fit around cardboard tube leaving an inch all around to overlap and tuck into top and bottom of tube. Use a little glue or double-sided tape to close the seam together on the outside of the tube (the tucked in paper should stay in place but you could use a few dabs of glue to secure if necessary).
- Paint the clothes pins with any design you like and allow to dry completely.
- Adhere any additional decorations to the clothes pins with glue.
- Fill a flour tortilla with fixings of your choice, roll, and tuck into cardboard tubes. Clip on the clothes pin, and serve up the fun!
