I have collected plenty of paper rolls and I already started my decorations. Today I'm working an ornament made of paper rolls. It might be too early to prepare for Christmas, but I'll be making plenty of these so it's always better to create as early as possible.

Supplies:

1 toilet paper roll
glitters
liquid glue
stick glue/hot glue
scissors
beads and other accessories

Steps:

Press to flatten the paper roll.

Paper Roll Ornament - flatten the TP roll

Cut it into 1/2 cm strips. One roll makes 12 strips.

Apply glue all over each strip.

Sprinkle 6 pieces with colored glitters of your choice. Sprinkle another 6 pieces with another color of glitters.

Paper Roll Ornament - sprinkle 6 pieces with one color glitter and use a second color on the other 6

Form the first six into a flower (see photo). Secure them with hot glue.

Get a piece of the second color and fold like this. Do the same with the rest.

Insert them between each petal and glue in place.

I have used tp rolls for other projects and I love your idea Very versatile, repurposed and inexpensive to make. And NO it is never too early to begin Christmas decorations or gifts.
