I'm excited to say my daughter is now officially a Studio Ghibli fan. Gabby has recently taken a liking to the movie Totoro, so it has been on repeat in our house lately. We've also been watching Ponyo a lot. This prompted me to start looking up Totoro crafts on Pinterest for us to do while she's sick at home the last couple days. Since I have many paper towel rolls saved, I decided to create this recycled paper towel roll craft. I decided it would be cute to turn into a starter pot for seeds. Check out the steps below to see how I made it ⬇️
Materials:
- Paper towel/TP Roll
- Scissors
- Black and white paint
- Paintbrush
- Black Sharpie Marker
- Soil
- Seeds
Materials
Step 1. I mixed the black and white paint to make a grey color.
Step 2. I painted the TP roll grey and set it down to dry.
Step 3. I cut four even slits on the bottom of the roll to fold in for the bottom.
Step 4. I folded down the first flap and created a crease.
Step 5. I rotated the roll clockwise and folded down the next flap on top of the flap from Step 4.
Step 6. I rotated the roll clockwise and folded down the next flap on top of the flap from Step 5.
Step 7. I folded half of the last flap under the first flap that was folded in Step 4. (Kind of like how boxes are folded to stay shut).
Step 8. I drew ears at the top and cut around them.
Tip: As you cut down the sides from the ears, cut at a slope to create the head.
Step 9. I used white paint to draw the stomach and eyes.
Step 10. I used black Sharpie to make the stomach and eyes more neat. I drew whiskers, nose, and mouth.
Step 11. I drew the lines on Totoro's stomach with the black Sharpie.
I filled it with some dirt and a tiny plant. You can also plant seeds
That is a beautiful gift for Gabby. Really thoughtful
