Subject: Re: PUPT: Toilet Paper Cores


This may brand me as a real tyro, but as a relative newbie I've used
cut-down TP tubes as the foundation for necks in paper mache puppet heads.
They're OK when reinforced with a few layers of pasted paper, but not
as sturdy as some other cardboard or plastic tubes I've used. 

I also seem to recall the Center for Puppetry Arts down here using them
sometimes in their pre-show puppetmaking classes for kids. Not exactly
performance-quality, I'm sure...
