Easy DIY Christmas Ornaments for Kids
A few weeks ago, I wrote a post about Crafting with Toilet Paper Rolls. I thought the gift tag by All Things Paper was adorable so I thought I’d try and make it. I thought this would be a perfect holiday Christmas craft to do with the kids… in fact I think I may mention it for my next play date. It’s really easy and not too messy for little hands.
All you need is: toilet paper rolls or paper towel rolls, glue, ribbon, hole punch, embellishments (rhinestones, glitter, paint, etc.)
First, bend the tube and cut out rings at the desired width. I cut out seven rings with one toilet paper roll.
Next, arrange your design on a flat surface. I chose to make a flower.
Carefully glue each piece together. In my case, I like to use hot glue because it’s easy and dries very quickly. I carefully glued every other flower petal.
Embellish the ornament any way you wish. I used a simple rhinestone because I like the organic look of the brown paper. Consider painting or glittering as well.
Using a hole punch or craft punch, punch holes for your ribbon.
String your ornament and hang! Tah Dah! Also consider stringing several flowers and use them as a decoration for a party. P.S. Remind me to do my nails before I post a picture tutorial…
What a great idea to use toilet paper rolls!
Thank you! It’s tough to throw stuff away… I think I have a problem…
These are very clever!
Thank you!
I love this ornament. I am going to share it with our churches youth director for a holiday project. Thanks for sharing!

I love the idea of slicing up a paper towel or toilet paper roll. You could line a picture frame or mirror with a cool design as well. This little football shape could be the basis for so many creative patterns. You could also point the ends “inward” in the opposite direction to make a figure-8 shape to combine with the little footballs.
You are so creative! I love the idea of lining a mirror for an entryway. You can purchase mirrors for next to nothing at thrift stores, especially during this time of year.
