Toilet Paper Roll Crafts: Christmas

Christmas Themed

Toilet Paper Roll Christmas Trees – These festive, little Christmas Trees make for the perfect Christmas decor. They can even be used as ornaments. Cut the roll at an angle making a continuous swirl down from top to bottom. You can make the distance between the cut thin like the first picture, or thick like the second. We have found that it is easier to paint the roll green after cutting so you have easier access to the inside portion. You can add glitter, jewels or stickers to personalize your tree.  Don’t forget the star for the top!

  

Toilet Paper Roll Snowman – There are two options for this adorable snowman. For the first option, cut the roll into three rings. You will need to have a small, medium and large in width. Next, paint it white on the outside and inside. Once dry, you can add on chenille stem arms and draw on the eyes, nose, mouth and buttons. Lastly, cut a circle and rectangle out of black construction paper. Use the rectangle to create a fourth ring and glue it onto the circle to form the hat. Now you have a triple stacked snowman that makes for a cute ornament!

  

Option two is perfect for little ones. Paint your roll white. When dry, draw on the eyes, nose, mouth and buttons. To keep it simple, you can also draw on the scarf and hat or cut them out of construction paper to give a different look.

Toilet Paper Roll Santa – This Santa is quite similar to the second snowman pictured above. Paint 1/4th of the roll white or peach, and the rest red. When dry, take a cotton ball and use it to form Santa’s beard. You may need to manipulate it a little by pulling it apart to give it more of a real beard look. After gluing on the beard you can add on his eyes and nose. Try using wiggle eyes for a different look! For Santa’s hat, just cut a triangle out of red construction paper. Take a small piece of the cotton ball to make the little ball for the top of the hat and you're done.

Toilet Paper Roll Reindeer – You can leave your toilet paper roll in its original color for this one or paint it a different color brown. To create Rudolph’s legs just cut out four rectangles on the front, back and each side of one end. Now you can add on a ball for his nose, wiggle eyes, and form him some antlers out of chenille stems. Don’t forget to give your reindeer a smile to spread the Christmas joy with.

Toilet Paper Roll Crafts: Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving Themed

Toilet Paper Roll Turkey – We cant get enough of these adorable turkeys! Use the roll as your base and add on the eyes, beak, feathers and feet. You can use wiggle eyes, chenille stems for feet, and actual feathers like the second turkey or keep things simple by drawing everything on like the first. Try using the construction paper feathers and have students write what they are thankful for on them!

  

Toilet Paper Roll Pilgrim Hat – This easy to make hat makes for the perfect center piece or place cards to show your guests where their seats are. Using construction paper, cover your roll in black. Then trace the end of your roll to give you the circle that covers the top of the hat. The bottom brim is just another circle but you want it to be larger than the first. Glue the circles in place and add the yellow square detailing to create the perfect pilgrim hat.

   

Toilet Paper Roll Crafts: Halloween

Toilet paper rolls make for the perfect recycled crafts! We want to help you prepare for the upcoming holidays with a few of our favorite Holiday Toilet Paper Roll Crafts. From Halloween to Christmas, here are a few ideas to decorate your classroom or to send home with your students to decorate their homes.

For starters, you will need to collect your toilet paper rolls. These are great to have on hand for art projects throughout the year too. Try storing them away as you use them up.

Next you will want to grab all your art supplies. This could mean using paint, markers, stickers, glue, scissors, and more!

Halloween Themed

Toilet Paper Roll Pumpkins – There are two different pumpkins that we chose. One is very simple and the other a little more challenging. Just paint or color with marker or crayon to get an orange roll. For the first, draw on a face and add leaves to the top. For the second, cut the roll into multiple rings. Glue or tie them together in the middle to create a pumpkin shape. The stem is simply a ring of toilet paper roll painted green with two strips cut on the bottom to create a vine effect.

  

Toilet Paper Roll Bats – This is as simple as it looks. Paint or color your roll black. When dry, fold down the top end on both sides to create the bat ear look. Wings can be cut out of black construction paper while you wait for the paint to dry. Add on the wings and a set of wiggle eyes and you're all finished!

Toilet Paper Roll Mummies – These mummies make for the perfect Halloween decorations. You can use a little left over toilet paper, thin streamers, white gauze, or tissue paper to cover the toilet paper roll and give it a mummy look. To get the first option simply add on some wiggle eyes. The second one makes this craft even cuter by making it more personal! Just cut out a picture of each students face and put it on the roll before wrapping. Now they are the mummies!

Coffee Filter Crafts

Did you know that Coffee Filters are the perfect base for Halloween themed crafts? Here is a list of spooky craft ideas to help you decorate your classroom.

Coffee Filter Ghosts

The coffee filter ghost is just as simple as it looks. Simply flip the coffee filter upside down and place a string through the center. Don’t forget to draw on the eyes and mouth! Wiggle eyes would even look great on these fun hanging ghosts. Try using a clear string to make them look like they're actually floating!

To make the coffee filter rounded on top verses pointed, add a ball of paper or aluminum foil to the end of the string.

Coffee Filter Pumpkins

You can use water colors or washable markers to make the coffee filter orange.

 

This first option is perfect for little ones. Just add the stem and leaf and you have a cute little pumpkin. Try placing these on the windows to get a fun glow when the sun shines through them.

This pumpkin is a little more challenging. Place a ball of paper or tin foil in the center of the coffee filter and tie it off with string or tape. You can add a face on with felt or with markers. Easily include a stem by placing a small stick in the center.

Coffee Filters Leaves

Leaves are perfect for the fall season! Have your students color their coffee filters with washable markers. When they are finished, spray them with a spray bottle of water to give them a fun, airbrushed effect. When dry, trace different leaf shapes and cut them out. These add a great splash of colors to any classroom!

Coffee Filter Bats

These guys are fun and easy to create. Start by coloring the coffee filter using markers or water colors. When dry, cut ridges around the outer edge to give the waved effect pictured above. Then add a clothes pin in the middle to create the body of the bat along with some wiggle eyes to complete the look.

Coffee Filter Spider Webs

These spider webs are made just like paper snowflakes. By folding up the coffee filter and cutting rectangles into it you can easily create this shape. Be sure to leave a strip uncut on one side to keep the sides connected.
