Toilet Paper Roll Snowflake Ornament

This ornament is similar to the one I posted a few days ago but with a different twist.

Supply List: white spray paint, 1 toilet paper roll, glitter glue, scissors, stapler, pipe cleaner

Squish your toilet paper roll in half and cut small strips with your scissors.

Use your stapler to connect the strips into a flower shape.  Take your flower shape outside and spray paint it white.  Allow plenty of time for it to dry.

Add some sparkly glitter glue.

Use your pipe cleaner to hang that beauty up on the tree.  It's hard to see how much it sparkles in this picture, but my kids love the glitter glue so it is nice an twinkly.

Book Suggestion: We are crazy about the Old Lady books around here.  There Was a Cold Lady Who Swallowed Some Snow! is another awesome addition to our collection.  Even if you live where it doesn't snow (ahem, Florida) kids can still appreciate this funny, rhyming story.

Toilet Paper Roll Christmas Ornament

I'm going to take a break from Elf Shenanigans for the next day or two to post some toilet paper roll crafts for the Christmas holiday.  But don't worry, Elfie will be back before you know it.

Supply List: 1 toilet paper roll, green construction paper, stapler, paint, scissors

Fold your toilet paper in half and squish it down.  Cut 6 small strips of your toilet paper roll.

Use your stapler to form the toilet paper roll strips into a flower shape.  You could also use glue, but we're really impatient around here so I just used a stapler.

Paint your flower red and glue a few green circles into the center.

Use your pipe cleaner to hang this lovely little ornament to the tree.  This would almost make a nice gift for a grandparent.
