Late Earth Day Challenge!

Hello everyone!
Even thought Earth Day has passed, I thought I would still post this anyway.  The challenge is to save useful "trash" and use it for a craft project.  Of course, it doesn't have to be a clear potential craft material like paper that you threw away.  Here, I used toilet paper tubes and made these cute squid/octopus.  It is a very easy craft great for kindergarten age.  Simply cut slits at the bottom of the tube and paint it (I used purple).  Later, glue on eyes and a mouth.  If you try this challenge please comment down below what you made!  
Finished project!
