Front of the guitar

Materials:
• empty tissue box
• paper towel roll
• paper
• paint
• scissors





Directions:

Side of the guitar

Before starting, decide if your child wants to use the design already on the box or if your child wants to paint over the entire box. We found that dark colors easily cover the design. Bit, of your child wants light colors, it is better to cover the box with paper before starting.


1. With the scissors, make a hole the paper towel roll can fit securely in. We found that making a t shape that is a little smaller than the width of the paper towel roll works best

2. Slide in the paper towel roll. It should fit snugly. If it is loose, secure with glue or tape

3. Cut a piece of paper to fit on the back of the tissue box. Decorate.
