Materials Needed:

• Empty toilet paper tubes
• Duct tape (any color or pattern)
• Scissors
• Ruler (optional)
• Ribbon, craft foam, or other decorations
• White glue or glue dots

Instructions:

1. Cut the toilet paper tube into rings about 1 inch wide. Each tube makes about 3 rings.
2. Tear or cut small strips of duct tape.
3. Wrap the strips of duct tape around the ring. Cover the cardboard completely. Press the tape down firmly.
4. Add decorations. Use glue to attach ribbon, foam shapes, or stickers. Let the glue dry.
5. Use your finished ring to hold a napkin.

Notes and Variations:

• Let Scouts choose holiday colors (red and green for Christmas, orange for Halloween, etc.).
• You can use paper towel tubes if you want wider rings.
• Make sure Scouts use scissors safely. Remind them to cut away from their bodies.
• You can do this as a group or set up stations for each step.
• Younger Scouts may need help cutting the cardboard.
