Ornaments made from Toilet Paper Rolls

Today I'm visiting the Arizona Moms Network sharing a pretty ornament I made from recycled toilet paper rolls.  We are less than a week away from Christmas so I'm sharing my post here today too. 

This would be a great kids craft to try this week. 

I used three toilet paper rolls to make each ornament.

Start by cutting the rolls into 1/4" strips.

Use hot glue to form your ornament base with the cardboard strips.  I applied a small amount of glue to the centers and pushed each piece together.

Next I folded some cardboard pieces in half.

I glued each half piece inside the larger sections.

Using the same technique with the glue I used three folded pieces in each larger section.

Add more cardboard pieces to make the ornament bigger.

I used Krylon's Glitter Blast to add some color to the ornament.

Use a ribbon or wire hanger to put the ornament on your tree.

These would make great toppers for family gifts too.

To turn this into a fun kids craft for younger children use Elmer's glue instead of a hot glue gun.  Skip the paint step and use markers and/or other fun embellishments (rhinestones, stickers, etc.).
