Step 2

Paint the paper roll. You can recycle tissue paper rolls or the paper tube that comes with gift wrapping paper.

Step 3

Punch holes on one paper plate using a hole punch as shown below. We are going to hang the chairs on this paper plate.

Step 4

Stick one end of the paper tube in the centre of the paper plate with holes.

Step 5

I wanted a thick base for the merry go round craft. So I glued the other two paper plates on top of each other with the painted sides coming outside.

Then I glued the other end of the paper tube to the centre of it.

Step 6

Let’s make the chairs now.

Get a card stock paper(approximately 6 x 10 cm). Fold it in half. Now, cut the sides to form a chair shape. Stick a piece of yarn at the back of the chair using tape. Similarly, make 4 more chairs.

Now, tie the chairs to the holes on the paper plate. Adjust the length of the yarn such that the chairs won’t touch the bottom.

Stick a plastic lid on top. You can colour the lid as you wish.

Wow! The merry go round craft is ready! How easy was that! 🙂

Make a lot of them with different sized paper plates and tubes and make a miniature amusement park! Take some pics and share them with me on my Facebook Group!
