Upcycled Holiday Countdown Garland

"I don’t know what it is, but there’s just something about this time of year that brings out my crafty side. I’m constantly starting projects, buying the stuff I need to make all sorts of fun messes, and there’s *always* that little corner in the back of my brain that’s seeing stuff out in the world and filing it away for inspiration. It’s because of this, and the old Girl Scout in me, that I can’t pass up a good looking pile of toilet paper rolls. Because we buy our Charmin and other paper goods in bulk at Costco, it’s pretty easy for me to collect the empty rolls and put them to good use for fun craft projects. This cute little countdown garland can easily be made for any special occasion you’re counting down. Swap out the colors and what you put inside, and pretty much anything can be made into a countdown-worthy party!"
