Day 37 - A Scroll for the Dalai Lama

For awhile I've been saving the little plastic tube-like rolls that make the center of a cash register tape. Since we have a store, we end up with a lot of these and I always thought they looked like something I could make something out of one day. Today, while I was changing the tape yet again on the machine, I realized I could use one to make a scroll.

Also today, the Dalai Lama posted a quotation I really like to his facebook page (Yes, the Dalai Lama has a facebook page.) I used the quote to lay out paper strips with text on the computer, cut the strips, carefully glued them together to make one long strip and glued one end to the plastic tube. I rolled it up, added some decorative red paper and a yellow cotton floss tie, and there it was... a scroll for the Dalai Lama.
