Inexpensive Christmas Craft: $.15 Toilet Paper Roll Ornament

December 3, 2011

I decided to get a little Christmas Crafty Last Night :)

I have a big project I am working on but I though I would try and make a $.15 ornament

1) I started with a toilet paper roll

2) I measured 1 cm and marked the toilet paper roll – I flattened the roll to make to easier

3) I cut 6 pieces out :)

Then I got my crazy glue and started to glue each together. It does not take much glue and I kept them together with bobby pins ( worked perfectly)

Once the flower was dry I poked a hole and tied a string so the ornament could be hung :)

NOW THE GLITTER!!!

I picked up the glitter at the local Dollar Tree it came in a set of 5 – I only used half of it.

+ I used the remainder of the super glue I had – I simply put the glue on the flower and went a little glitter crazy! And you can see the finished product above.

Overall I love this – I figured it cost me about $.15 and I think it looks Homemade Chic don’t you ;)

This is cute….something to do with the kids during the break…not to hard for a teacher to do with her class either. Great Idea! Thanks.

I made your subway art this afternoon (had to paint an old cheap frame — looks great btw) and now I’m going to have to try this. I have 20 or more toilet tissue rolls and waiting for something to cute to do with them.

I love this idea! I think I will do it with my kinders. A couple of ideas- you could have the kids paint it blue or white first and make snowflakes, or paint it red and put little yellow circles (cut out with a paper punch) or beads and make a poinsettia.

My daughter is making these today. I just glued the flowers together for her and waiting for them to dry. We are putting them on the presents this year. :)

Of course if you have a lot of extra cardboard rolls, donate them to local pet stores, they can always use them for their critters!
