British Bobby TP Roll Craft 

A "Bobby" is a police officer in England.  This is a simple three dimensional craft that can be done "just for fun", a medieval theme, or an England theme.

Materials:  

  • toilet paper roll
  • something to colour with if using the B&W version, 
  • scissors, 
  • glue, 
  • paper 
  • printer

Instructions:   

  • Print out the template of choice.
     
  • Colour (where appropriate) and cut out the template pieces. 
     
  • Glue the large rectangular piece on first to cover the tube.
    • the slightly larger part is the jacket (blue)
        
    • the slightly smaller part is the pants (grey)
        
    • the lines running vertically designate the legs and the jacket closure.  They should go at the front of the craft.
         
  • Glue on the head and arms.  
      
  • You may need to trim the arms a bit shorter depending on how you decide to place them.  In the photo, we folded a bit at the end of the arm and glued that to the tp roll so the arms spread out in the air.
      
  • Fold the tabs on the feet and glue them on the inside of the tp roll to give a 3D effect.
     
  • "Decorate" as a bobby with hat, belt, buttons, pocket and night stick.
     

Templates:  

  • Close the template window after printing to return to this screen. 
       
  • Set page margins to zero if you have trouble fitting the template on one page (FILE, PAGE SETUP or FILE, PRINTER SETUP in most browsers).
