If you're a follower of Amanda and her adventures over at Crafts by Amanda, then you know that she's a whiz when it comes to cardboard tube projects.  She's made all kinds of cute things out of them, most recently an entire series of farm animals!  There are nine animals in the set:   pig, chicken, chick, lamb, goat, horse, cow, dog, and cat.  Turn a cardboard box into a barn by painting it or covering it with red paper and let the fun begin!   [how to make recycled cardboard tube farm animals]
