Steem Women Club Contest # 11 'Recycling' | Little train with paper rolls.
Today I decided to join this wonderful contest in which we will be talking about recycling. I love recycling folks, I mainly recycle butter containers, soda and juice containers, paper, bags and cardboard. Giving recycled materials a new use avoids the degradation of the environment, we also obtain economic savings, develop our creativity and create jobs; there are many reasons why we should recycle.
I am not an expert in working with recycled materials, but I do try my best to make things look good for me. I have made piñatas, seedbeds and bins with these types of materials, it is incredible to see how these materials are transformed. For this contest I am going to show you how to make a little train with paper rolls. My son also loves working with these materials, so I included him in the making of this little train.

Step by Step.
1- With the help of scissors, we cut a roll in half and then make a cut in the shape of a "v", this would be the engine part.
