Dream Tree: Toilet Paper Roll Christmas Ornaments

Toilet paper roll Christmas ornament. This cost about $1 to make and looks very expensive. Design Dazzle

Who would ever guess you could make a Christmas ornament look this elegant from empty toilet paper rolls?? Well, you can! It is super easy and super CHEAP! It cost under a dollar to make this ornament.

Michaels invited me to be a part of their Dream Tree Challenge. I decorated one of their Christmas tree’s using their store products and also created this ornament for my Dream Tree.

Silvery sage, apple green, floral, glitter, moss, birds, and more! This is what a Jeweled Forest Christmas Tree looks like. Designed by Toni of Design Dazzle. #christmastrees #dreamtree #christmastreedecorating

This is what a Jeweled Forest Christmas Tree looks like. Last years Christmas tree was painted and glittered! Would you like to see all the FABULOUS trees created by the other bloggers in the Dream Tree Challenge, follow the hashtag #JustAddMichaels. You can also visit Michaels Pinterest board to see all the trees. I would LOVE a pin or comment on my tree!!

Directions on how-to make a toilet paper roll Christmas ornament:

supplies:

empty toilet paper or paper towel rolls

spray paint

silver glitter – color will be dependent on the look you are going for

spray adhesivehot glue gun

jewels or embellishments from the jewelry aisle at Michaels Stores.

Cut strips about 3/4 in wide from the toilet paper rolls. Make sure the strips are the same thickness/width. We made a circle about 1 1/2 inches round. Smaller circles were hot glued around the perimeter of the circle. “Scrolls” were made with cardboard strips cut from the toilet paper rolls. Wrap the cardboard around a pencil or glue stick to help create the “scroll”.

The scrolls were then added to the outside of the cardboard circle with hot glue.

Spray paint cardboard. Since I was going for the silver sparkle look, I used silver spray paint.

Once the spray paint is dry I sprayed the ornament with spray adhesive and then poured glitter over the entire ornament.

These jewelry embellishments are found on the jewelry aisle at Michaels. They come 3 in a package. The price was either $3.99 or $4.99 and they were on sale for 50% off. So that comes to $1.5o or $2.00 for ALL three. So to make three of these Christmas ornaments it’s about $1 each. The embellishment was hot glued to the center of the ornament.

Here is is hanging on the tree. Have fun and make various designs with the cardboard strips. How easy would this be to make with kids?

So how cool is this:

    Love this idea!! When I was very young I made the 3 wisemen out of toilet paper rolls!! For years, it was a fun joke in our family. I would place them in a prominent spot and my Mom would hide them. She passed away on Dec. 18th and when my daughter and I put away the Christmas decorations I could not find them. I never did. It will be fun to do something again with toilet paper rolls. Thanks for the tutorial and have a blessed holiday.

    This is a great idea, so pretty and elegant. I have made a few things using toilet paper rolls and like each one. But, no where near as pretty as this! Love it. Thanks for sharing.
