German (Bavarian) Lederhosen TP Roll Craft
This is a simple three dimensional craft that can be done "just
for fun" or a Germany theme. The accordion was
invented in Germany and is still often used by German folk music
bands. Bavaria is a state in south eastern Germany. 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 shirt (white)
- the slightly smaller part is the legs (beige)
- the lines running vertically designate the legs. They should go at the front of the craft.
- Glue the smaller rectangular piece (the shorts) around the tp roll, just
above the legs.
- Glue the suspenders onto the front of the body, just above the shorts.
- 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.
- Glue the trachten hat onto the head.
- Glue the accordion into one of the hands.
