Tape

Scissors



Open to the World

Step 1

Determine the height you want for your cylinder.


Step 2

Measure the paper and cut it to the desired dimension, as needed. For example, cut your paper so two sides are 6 inches long for a 6-inch cylinder. If you want a 12-inch or a 9-inch tall construction, you won’t have to modify a standard-sized sheet of craft paper.

Step 3

Place small tabs of tape on one end of the paper, with the sticky side facing up. The tape goes on the sides perpendicular to those you measured for the height

Step 4

Roll the paper until the cylinder is the desired diameter. Press the tape tabs to the roll.

Block Those Bases

Step 1

Make an open cylinder.

Step 2

Cut two circles with the same diameter as the cylinder.

Step 3

Fold 1-inch tape tabs in half. Place them inside the open cylinder, with the fold on the paper edge and the extra part of the tab facing the inside of the cylinder.

Step 4

Press one of the circles onto the tape tabs. Repeat at the other end of the cylinder
