Cardboard TP Ideas

Christmas is almost here. Here is a cool idea for your cardboard TP holders.

A fun way to count down the days until Christmas. Make this advent Christmas tree using toilet tissue or paper towel rolls.
Materials:


•Posterboard or Cardboard
•12 Toilet Paper Rolls
•Paint
•Glue
Instructions:
Cut each toilet paper roll in half so you have 24 circles that are about 2 inches tall. Paint each circle green.

Once the paint is dry, glue them onto the posterboard into the shape of the Christmas tree below.

Once the glue is dry, trim the posterboard around to toilet tissue rolls, into the shape of a Christmas tree. Place a small candy or other treat into each circle. Starting on December 1st, take out one piece of candy or treat per day to help you count down every day until Christmas!

Supplies

1 Paper towel roll cardboard tube
2 Small feathers
2 Pink miniature pom poms
1 Brown miniature pom poms
13-15 Yellow miniature pom poms
3 Red small pom poms
Acrylic paint: brown, flesh, light brown, white, black and pink
Black fine tip marker
Felt: tan, brown, gray, white, black, orange, peach, and green
Scissors

Patterns (click on Printables)



Click here for printables

Instructions

First, cut the paper towel roll into three sections, one for each character and click on printables and print out the patterns.



Pilgrim Man


Paint the top 1/3 of the cardboard tube with flesh colored paint. Use brown paint to add on hair around the back and sides of face. Leave enough room to add facial features later. Let dry before continuing.



Roll up tube in a piece of brown felt. Trim felt to the height of the roll and be sure you have enough to wrap all the way around it as well, overlapping slightly.



Cut the felt strip about 2/3 of the way up for the pilgrim's clothes, leaving the remainder for his hat. Glue the larger brown piece of felt around the tube for his clothes and the smaller section around the top for his hat. Glue seams in the back.



Cut out hat brim from brown felt and hat band from black felt using the patterns. Cut out the buckles from black and white felt according to the pattern. Glue the hand brim around the bottom of the hat and the black band above the brim. Glue the buckle (white first, then black) onto the front of the hat on the band.



Cut out the pilgrim's collar from the white felt using the pattern. Glue around the neckline on top of the brown felt.



Cut out pumpkin and stem from orange and green felt, glue to the front of the pilgrim's body. Cut out 2 hands from peach felt and glue to the front, overlapping the sides of the pumpkin.

Use the handle end of a paint brush dipped in white paint to dot on eyes. Do not add black until white is dry. Use a scruffy paint brush or a roughed up cotton swab to add cheeks using pink paint. Be sure to dab off excess pink paint before applying cheeks (dry application). Glue a miniature pink pom pom on for the nose and use fine tip black marker to add the mouth and eyebrows. Dot on blacks of the eyes.



Pilgrim Woman


Paint the top 1/3 of the cardboard tube with flesh colored paint. Use light brown paint to add on hair around the back and sides of face. Leave enough room to add facial features later. Let dry before continuing.



Roll up tube in a piece of gray felt. Trim felt to 2/3 the height of the roll and be sure you have enough to wrap all the way around it as well, overlapping slightly.

Glue the gray felt around the tube for her clothes, seam should be in the back.

Cut out the pilgrim woman's collar from the white felt using the pattern. Glue around the neckline on top of the gray felt.



Cut a piece of white felt wide enough to cover the top of the tube and hang down about 1" in the back. The shape will resemble a semi-circle, adjust and trim as needed to make her bonnet.

Cut out basket from tan felt and 2 hands from peach felt using pattern. Glue basket to the front of the pilgrim woman and glue hands on, overlapping the sides of the basket. Glue 3 small red pom poms to the top of basket for apples.



Use the handle end of a paint brush dipped in white paint to dot on eyes. Do not add black until white is dry. Use a scruffy paint brush or a roughed up cotton swab to add cheeks using pink paint. Be sure to dab off excess pink paint before applying cheeks (dry application). Glue a miniature pink pom pom on for the nose and use fine tip black marker to add the mouth, eyebrows and eyelashes. Dot on blacks of the eyes.



Indian


Paint the top 1/3 of the cardboard tube with brown paint.

Roll up tube in a piece of tan felt. Trim felt to 2/3 the height of the roll and be sure you have enough to wrap all the way around it as well, overlapping slightly. From the remainder of the felt, cut out a thin strip of tan to use as the headband, set aside for a later step.

Glue the tan felt around the tube for his clothes, seam should be in the back.



Cut a piece of black felt wide enough to cover the top of the tube and long enough to reach the bottom of both sides of the tube. Use hot glue to attach the hair to the top of the tube. Dot a bit of glue at the tops of the sides as well, but not all the way down, just to hold it in place. Cut the hair on both sides into three pieces and braid together. Hot glue the braided ends and glue to the side of the tube.



Glue two feathers to the side of the head, then wrap headband around the head, seam in the back and glue in place.



Cut out the corn husk and leaf from green felt and 2 hands from brown felt using the pattern. Glue the large green husk to the front of the Indian. Glue on two rows of miniature yellow pom poms for the corn kernels, then glue the green leaf at the bottom of the kernels, overlapping them slightly. Glue the hands on, overlapping the corn.



Use the handle end of a paint brush dipped in white paint to dot on eyes. Do not add black until white is dry. Use a scruffy paint brush or a roughed up cotton swab to add cheeks using pink paint. Be sure to dab off excess pink paint before applying cheeks (dry application). Glue a miniature brown pom pom on for the nose and use fine tip black marker to add the mouth and eyebrows. Dot on blacks of the eyes.

Homemade pumpkin decoration

The end of this month is Thankgiving. Here is a cool idea to do with your children. The best part is alot of these items you should have at home.

Materials Needed:


•8 Plastic grocery bags
•Newspaper
•1 Paper towel tube
•Orange paint
•Green paint
•Glue gun
•Paint brush
•Scissors

Instructions:
Cut the paper towel tube to about 5” long. Take about 3 pieces of newspaper, lay them in a single layer, and fold them over until they're about 2” wide by the length of the paper. Glue ends to secure the folded pieces of newspaper. Make about 6 folded strips. Set aside.

Take the bags, at the center of the bottom, and pull through your fingers to make it 'flatter'. Glue each bag, from the center bottom with the handles up, next to each other all the way around the paper towel tube, about 3” from the top. This combination should resemble a pompom.

Begin gluing the strips of newspaper to the tube, starting at about 3” from the top. They should be over the glued ends of the plastic bags. Wrap the strips around the tube, gluing as you go around. When you get to the end of one newspaper strip, add another piece so they are end to end.

Now, pull each bag down by the handles, over the newspaper ‘rib’, to the bottom of the tube and then stuff the handles up into the tube. Repeat this for all of the paper bags. As you pull down more plastic bags, it gets a bit harder to stuff the handles into the tube so Donna suggests using the end of a pen to shove them in.

To finish your grocery bag pumpkin, pinch and slightly fold in the top of the tube with your fingertips. This will be the stem of your pumpkin. Paint the pumpkin (grocery bags) orange. Stain the stem with green paint that has been mixed with water to give it a more realistic look.

Cardboard TP Ideas

It's Sunday again, here is our new Cardboard TP idea.

Thanksgiving Napkin Ring Craft
This makes a good craft for a Thanksgiving party. It's fairly quick to do if you do the first four steps prior to the party. Then let the party-goers glue on their own turkeys, use stickers and sparkles to decorate, and inscribe their names.

Marilyn wrote:
"Here is a suggestion for the napkin rings. Turkey races! Have the kids put a large marble in the TP roll and then they can race their wobblers around the house. It would work great with any kind of napkin ring. We have a lot of fun with this at our house."

Materials:
toilet paper roll,

printer,

piece of paper,

scissors,

glue, and

crayons.
Instructions:
Print out the template of choice.

Colour (where appropriate) and cut out the template pieces.

Glue the rectangular piece onto the tp roll.

Cut the tp roll into 4 pieces along the dotted lines.

Trace four handprints onto coloured construction paper. Glue the turkey body into the center of each and attach to the tp roll pieces.
Alternative Decorating Ideas:

Use stickers, sparkles, sparkle glue, or felt to decorate the napkin ring further.

Use a marker to inscribe the name of the guest on each napkin ring.

Print the black and white template on construction paper. Print a second copy on white paper and mix & match the pieces.

Set your page margins to zero (FILE, PAGE SETUP on most browsers) so the templates print out fully.

Close template window after printing to return to this screen.


Templates:
Close the template window after printing to return to this screen.

Set page margins to zero if you have trouble fitting the template on one page (FILE, PAGE SETUP or FILE, PRINTER SETUP in most browsers).
