November 3, 2015 by Ellen Russell

I love toilet paper roll crafts. It’s such a basic craft supply, but it’s incredible what you can make with it. Today I’m going to show you how to make a fun little toilet paper roll dragon. I included a free printable template for you to use, so you or your kiddo can whip up this cardboard tube dragon in just a few minutes.
