Making Merry: Toilet Paper Roll Flower Ornaments
After seeing this (scroll down for the finished picture) I thought it would be fun to take the same concept and make ornaments. So I started collecting toilet paper rolls :) These ornaments are really easy to make. Here’s how:
1. Fold your paper roll in half to make it flat
2. Cut your roll in equal portions. If you cut it in 5 portions it will make one flower. I cut mine in 4 portions so they would be a bit thicker.
3. Using a small stapler, staple the petals together. You can also use glue if you don’t want the staples to show but I went the quick and easy route because I didn’t want to wait for it to dry. Ya, I’m lazy like that :)
4. Continue adding petals until you have at least 5. You can add more if you want a fuller flower.
5. Take the last two and bring them together and staple creating the flower shape. Then punch a hole through and add your ribbon, twine, or string through the top.
6. Hang them and enjoy! As you can see, I actually hung mine in front of a window instead of on the tree because they were too big for my tree. I also think they would be cute to string together and make a garland or use them to adorn a gift. You could also paint them (or just the inside) if you want to go for a more polished look.
Have fun and have a great weekend! I will be back next week with more Christmas ideas!

Cute cute! If you looped metalic pipe cleaner (or even didn’t loop it) and stapled it between the petals it would kinda look like a snowflake!
Dude. So stinkin’ cute! You need to submit this to D*S or AT!
Okay…now THIS is something I can do! I might try these with the boys. Thanks.
