    I confess though… after about 15 Loo Roll men (and a Troll and an Alien), I (!!) am getting “a little” bored of loo men… 😉 Did I just type that?!?!?!??!

    Love these!! I have seen some toilet roll men around the net, but your pirates are AWESOME! Isn’t it fab when you have a great book for inspiration! I’m sure we will be making some too after seeing these!

    Take care,

    […] One of my FAVOURITE craft materials is  loo rolls!! Or, if not a loo roll, then a kitchen towel roll cut in half. There are SO many things you can make with loo rolls, I could go on all day.
