CIY Staff Tips:
- Have an adult cut the paper towel rolls. Adult assistance required.
- When applying paint to the rolls, work in a light, dabbing motion. This will ensure that your roll is not overloaded with paint, allowing your designs to be clear and crisp.
- Before rolling onto your gear, try rolling onto scrap paper to practice.
- Experiment customizing picture frames, tote bags, cards, and more!
