Toilet Paper Roll Ornament

By Christel M. Hoydic December 19, 2014
Need a holiday project for your scout troop, classroom or kiddos on the weekend? These toilet paper roll ornaments look so pretty hanging on the tree that no one will guess you used a recycled household find to create them!

You’ll need:
  • Empty toilet paper roll (one for each ornament)
  • Paint or markers
  • Glitter and/or other embellishments (sequins, stickers, etc.)
  • Glue

And then you'll:
  1. Cut the toilet paper roll into 6 even strips (see picture for guide).
  2. Paint or color as desired. Christmas colors will look beautiful on the tree, while painting them white will make ornaments that resemble snowflakes. 
  3. Add glitter and/ or embellishments and let dry.  
  4. When each piece is dry, glue together by placing a little dab of glue onto the tip of each piece and attach together.  
  5. Add a ribbon to hang and you have a pretty ornament to adorn your tree or window.
