How To Make A Toilet Paper Roll Santa Ornament
Let’s start making an easy Santa ornament using a toilet paper roll!
Materials Needed:
- Toilet paper roll or small cardboard roll
- Construction paper: red, peach, black, white, pink and yellow
- Scissors
- Small piece of yarn or string
- Red pom pom ball
- Cotton
- Black marker
- Tape
- Glue
- Optional: small googly eyes
- Optional: hole puncher
Instructions:
1. Before starting, I cut out all the small pieces, like the eyes, belt buckle, and rosy cheeks.
This made it easier for my children.
Now, the kids can start by wrapping the toilet paper roll with the red paper.
2. Use tape, ensuring that it is neatly and securely attached to cover the entire surface of the roll.
3. Next, let’s create Santa’s hat by folding one side of the toilet paper roll in a downward curved style to form Santa’s feet while the other part is folded into a triangle to shape the top of Santa’s hat.
Look at the image for guidance.
4. Cut a small strip of yellow yarn and attach it to the back of Santa’s hat with tape to create a hanging loop for the ornament.
5. Cut a peach-shaped piece from the peach-colored paper to form Santa’s face.
6. Wrap the cotton around the heart shape to create Santa’s beard, ensuring it is neatly arranged and secured in place.
Use glue to attach it.
7. Either use small googly eyes or cut out two small circles to create Santa’s eyes.
If making your own eyes, you can use a marker to shade the inner part of the circles to form the pupils, then glue the eyes to the peach paper to complete Santa’s face.
8. Place a round cotton ball at the tip of the triangle where you attached the strip of yarn, forming the pom-pom at the end of Santa’s hat.
9. Just below his eyes, attach the red pom pom ball to represent Santa’s nose.
Then, add two small pink circles for Santa’s rosy cheeks.
I used a hole puncher to cut perfect small circles from the pink paper.
10. Use the black and yellow paper to create Santa’s belt buckle.
Cut a strip of black paper to form the belt and a small rectangle from the yellow paper for the belt buckle.
Cut out the inner part of the yellow rectangle and attach it to the black paper to complete the buckle.
Then, wrap the belt around Santa’s waist and secure it in place with glue or tape on the toilet paper roll.
11. Finally, use a marker to shade the bottom part of the toilet paper roll to create Santa’s boots.
Draw his arms on the roll as well to complete the festive ornament.
Optional Ideas:
- Use a pipe cleaner for Santa’s belt
- add some sparkly glitter on the cotton at the bottom of the hat
- Make a toilet paper roll chimney to go along with your Santa craft
- Make different Christmas characters like Mrs. Claus or toilet roll snowmen
