This one is meant to force you into using your own creativity. This isn’t one of those crafts that I tell you every single step to make the finished craft. Keep attaching your tubes together to form your log cabin. Tubes can also be joined together by inserting one end of a tube into the opening of another and gently twisting them together. Holes can also be punched in the tubes… use paper fasteners to hold them together.Īnother way to attach two tubes together is to tie them together with string. My log cabin blocks finish 9., I’ve decided on a 6 x 6 block layout, for design reasons, but that yields a quilt too small for a throw. I like this layout with the darker values forming diamond-ish clusters. The twisting will release your pencil.Ī good way to attach the tubes to each other is to flatten the ends and bend them to the desired angle… then attach with scotch tape. The value contrast allows the log cabins to create secondary patterns when they’re nestled together. Should your pencil disappear in the excitement of rolling the tube, complete the process, then place the tube between both hands and roll back and forth. Don’t be discouraged if your first tube does not roll evenly with a few tries you can make an excellent tube. Hold the tube with one hand and with the other apply a dab of paste or a piece of scotch tape and your tube is complete. If you want to remove it before it disappears,then hold the tube with one hand and gently pull the pencil out, then continue to roll until you get to the end of the paper. Cut off the two side margins and roll the page diagonally, using a pencil as a form to start the tube. These colored sheets create exciting patterns when rolled. Use colored pages from magazines (although you can use any paper you want…even newspaper which is easier to paint). Made from magazines or newspaper this is a clever craft perfect for the Thanksgiving season. This is a fun craft and will show you how creative you can be.

Well, today I’m going to continue with the Thanksgiving fun by showing you how to make a Log Cabin Paper Sculpture. For the past few days I have been showing you how to make different Thanksgiving crafts.
