Make A Memory That Will Last A Lifetime... It is Easy When You Know How To Entertain Your Guests with this great resource!
It just wouldn’t be crafting if we didn’t make something out of a recycled toilet paper cardboard tube.
This craft can be adapted to make just about anything including: Santa, Mrs. Claus, Reindeer, Snowmen, Elves, Angels, etc. In addition, you don’t just have to use toilet paper tubes. You can also use paper towel rolls and wrapping paper rolls.
You’ll Need:
- Recycled toilet paper tube
- Construction paper (red, white, pink, and black)
- Markers or crayons
- Glue (or glue stick)
- Cotton balls
- Wiggle eyes (optional)
What to Do:
1. Wrap a cardboard tube with a 4 x 2 inch sheet of red paper and glue in place.
2. To make the face, use a 3 inch wide circle of pink paper and glue in place.
3. Cut a 4 inch wide half circle and roll it into a cone. Glue in place. Glue the cone on top of the tube to make Santa’s hat.
4. Cut a thin black strip of paper that is long enough to go around the tube. Glue it in the middle of the tube to make Santa’s belt.
5. Use the markers or crayons to make Santa’s facial features. You can use the optional wiggle eyes if desired.
6. Tear apart cotton balls and glue onto the tube to make the beard and hatband. Make a small ball of cotton and glue it to the point of the hat.
My kids are absolutely crazy about these things! We have to make new ones each year.
