    Step 2: We stuck our decorated paper onto construction paper to make them a bit sturdier.

    Step 3: We took some stiff card and stuck some foil onto it… shiny side facing out.

    Step 4: We made three folds and four sections in our foil covered card. We put model glue along the one side and folded them into “tri-angular tubes.” We glued them shut pegged them in place and waited for them to dry.

    Step 5: While the glue was drying we made little circles out of plastic bags. We made a strip of glue around the one circle and dropped glitter and sequins into the center of the circle. Then we dropped the other plastic circle on top and left them to dry too. Now we had little pockets filled with glitter and sequins.

    Step 5: We rolled our decorated paper around our “triangular tubes” and then glued them down.

    For some of us the project could definitely have ended there!

    Step 6: But we persevered! We cut out black circles from card and made a hole with a pencil through the center. Then folded them over the one end and taped them on. (We had lost patience with waiting for glue to dry – tape to the rescue!).

    Step 7: Finally we took the glitter and sequin “pockets” and taped them onto the other end of the tube…
